Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas Recipe

 #Sheet #Pan #Chicken #Fajitas #Recipe

(About 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders
• 3 bell peppers, sliced (I used yellow, red, and orange)
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• fresh lime, sliced
• fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Line a sheet pan with tin foil (you’ll thank me later for the easy clean up).  Set it aside.
3. In a large bowl, add the chicken, sliced bell peppers and onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika and mix together well so that everything is coated in the lovely spices.
4. Transfer everything to the prepared cookie sheet and spread it out into one layer.
5. Cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done cooking.
6. Remove the chicken from pan.  This isn’t strictly required, but it does help to avoid over cooking the chicken while you roast up the veggies.
7. Then turn the oven to broil for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the tops of some of the veggies have toasted to your liking.  Make sure to watch the food at this point because it can go from delicious food to charcoal in seconds.
8. Serve with a squeeze of lime juice and sprinkling of cilantro.
