What Are Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas?

Sheet pan chicken fajitas are a twist on the classic Mexican dish. Instead of cooking on the stove, everything bakes together on one pan in the oven. It’s less mess and less stress!

You simply slice up your favorite vegetables, toss them with chicken, and let the oven do the work. The end result? Juicy chicken, tender veggies, melty cheese, and warm tortillas. It’s a one-pan wonder that saves time and still delivers big flavor.

These fajitas are also easy to customize, so every picky eater in your house is happy.

Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒

You only need a few fresh ingredients to make this recipe:

• 1 onion (sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 8 oz pre-cooked chicken breasts (shredded, sliced, even rotisserie chicken works too)

How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

This recipe is so easy. You’ll be done in less than 30 minutes!

1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray your pan (these are my favorite ones) with olive oil or other baking spray.

2: Place the cooked chicken on a sheet pan. Spread it out evenly.

3: Slice your onion, red pepper, and green pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet with the chicken.

4: Bake everything for 12 minutes. This helps the veggies soften and flavors come together.

5: Take the pan out of the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything for a fresh kick. 🍋

6: Sprinkle shredded cheese across the pan while it’s still hot. It will melt perfectly.

7: Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings!

That’s it—dinner is served with the chicken fajita recipe!
