Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh lime wedges and cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: shredded cheese, sour cream, or Mexican hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice chicken, peppers, and onions evenly. Mix chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Toss the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the spice mixture. Let it sit while preparing vegetables.
  3. Spread seasoned chicken, peppers, and onions on an oiled sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the spice mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove from oven, squeeze lime juice over the fajitas, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and desired toppings.

Notes

  • For more flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent juices from spilling.
  • Add sliced zucchini or mushrooms for extra veggies.
  • Serve on lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
