EASY SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

🌶️ Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

An easy, flavorful weeknight dinner made in one pan—ready in 30 minutes!


🛒 Ingredients

Fajitas

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced ½-inch thick

  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced ½-inch thick

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Spice Blend

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ▢ ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

To Serve

  • Almond flour tortillas (like Siete)

  • Guacamole (store-bought or homemade)

  • Salsa (Siete or Late July Organic work great)

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. On a large sheet pan, arrange the sliced peppers, onions, and whole chicken thighs. Use two pans if needed to avoid overcrowding.

  3. In a small bowl, combine all spices to create the fajita seasoning.

  4. Drizzle avocado oil over the chicken and veggies, then sprinkle the spice blend evenly. Toss everything directly on the sheet pan until well coated.

  5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.

  6. Slice chicken into ½-inch strips.

  7. Serve with warm tortillas, guac, salsa, and fresh cilantro.


💡 Notes & Variations

  • 🌯 Make it a bowl: Serve over chopped romaine lettuce for a grain-free fajita bowl! Top with guac, salsa, and maybe even a few tortilla chips for crunch.

  • 🥑 For added flavor, squeeze fresh lime over everything before serving.

  • 🧊 Leftovers? They reheat beautifully for lunch the next day.
