Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
US measurements with metric in parentheses.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Toss chicken, peppers and onion with oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt directly on the pan. Spread in a single layer.
- Roast 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are charred at the edges.
- Squeeze lime juice over everything.
- Serve with warm tortillas and toppings.
🌡 Food safety: Cook poultry until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Tips for success
- Do not crowd the pan; use two pans if needed so food roasts instead of steams.
- Slice chicken evenly so it cooks at the same pace.
Substitutions
- Use shrimp (roast about 8 minutes) or portobello mushrooms.
- Corn tortillas make it gluten-free if labeled so.
Storage & reheating
