Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Warm tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare all ingredients by slicing chicken, bell peppers, and onions into strips.
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a spice blend.
- Toss half of the spice mixture with chicken strips and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss bell peppers and onions with the remaining olive oil and spice blend separately.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken, peppers, and onions evenly on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from oven, squeeze lime juice over the fajitas, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and desired toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or zucchini.
- Swap chicken for shrimp or beef to vary the protein.
- Use smoky chipotle or adobo seasoning for different spice profiles.
- Serve with sliced avocado or guacamole for added creaminess.
