Our go to SUPER EASY fajita chicken recipe that only requires one sheet pan!

I love a recipe that calls for only one pan and is quick to whip up. And these family-friendly chicken fajitas are super delicious.

Fajita Chicken Recipe Adaptions

Gluten-Free: Swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas.
Dairy-Free: Skip the cheese and sour cream toppings or use dairy-free versions.
Low Carb: Skip the shell and make a salad.
Chicken: I have tried cooking this recipe with the chicken breasts pre-sliced (as pictured) and unsliced. The unsliced chicken is much more tender and holds the juice better so I recommend not slicing your chicken until the end.

Recipe Tools

Baking Sheets: We really love our Nordic Ware Aluminum Sheets from Amazon. They have held up so well over the years and the 3 piece set includes the perfect sizes for all your baking needs.
Silicone Baking Liners: We also line our sheet pans with silicone liners. They are inexpensive, durable, oven-safe, and make cooking with sheet pans so much easier with their non-stick surface.

4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
In a Ziploc bag, add olive oil and lime juice, chicken and veggies. Shake to coat the chicken.
Sprinkle in spice mixture to Ziploc bag and shake well to evenly disperse seasonings.
On a lightly greased large sheet pan, spread out chicken and veggies. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from pan to rest and return peppers and onions to the oven and BROIL for 3-5 minutes until the edges of the veggies start to char slightly.
While veggies are broiling, drizzle fresh lime juice over chicken then thinly slice into strips.
Assemble fajitas with chicken, peppers, onions. Serve with desired toppings.
