Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

2. Slice chicken into ¼-inch strips. Cut bell peppers and onions into even strips.

3. In a small bowl, mix together all fajita seasoning ingredients.

4. Place chicken and vegetables on the sheet pan.

5. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then sprinkle with the seasoning mixture.

6. Toss everything together to coat evenly and spread into a single layer without overlapping.

7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

8. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a charred finish.

9. Warm tortillas and serve the chicken fajitas with your choice of toppings.

10. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled fajitas and serve immediately.

Notes

Use pre-sliced veggies to save even more time on prep.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning and lime juice for 30 minutes before baking.
