Instructions

Creating your flavorful Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients: Slice chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add Oil and Spices: Pour the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Make sure they are evenly distributed for even cooking.
5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Warm Tortillas: In the last few minutes of the cooking time, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to warm for about 5 minutes.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish the fajitas with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
8. Assemble Fajitas: Allow everyone to grab a tortilla and fill it with the roasted chicken and veggies, adding their preferred toppings.
