Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breast
- 3 bell peppers, any color sliced
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 3 T olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime approx. 2 Tablespoons
- 1 T honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp chili powder
- ½-1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¾ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ sea salt more or less as desired
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut chicken into thin strips. Slice onion and peppers into thin strips as well. Place chicken and veggies in a bowl and top with marinade ingredients and seasoning, tossing well to coat evenly.(If meal prepping or marinading, place in fridge covered until ready to cook.)
- Before cooking, spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large sheet pan allowing for as little overlap as possible.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is 165°F internal temperature. In the last several minutes, place tortillas wrapped in foil in the oven to heat as well. Remove from oven and rest for about 5 minutes. (Absorb any excess liquid on the pan with a paper towel.)
- Serve with your favorite fajita toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Use an instant-read meat thermometer for best results. To avoid over or under cooking your chicken, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature is at 165°F.
Use a large pan for these baked chicken fajitas. You want to space out the chicken as much as possible so there is no overlapping. I only used a smaller pan for the photos, but any other time I make them, I use a much larger pan and the food is well spaced. You can place it on two pans as well.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. You can reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or your preferred method.
