Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas Recipe

Prep the ingredients – Slice chicken and veggies into thin strips. I have opted for chicken breasts in this recipe. You will also need sliced bell peppers or capsicum and onions in this recipe. Drizzle all the ingredients with a little oil and season with fajita seasoning.

Bake and serve – Depending on the thickness of the slices of chicken, you will need to bake them for about 20-15 minutes at 220 C or 425 F. Assemble the cooked chicken and veggies in tortillas like a taco or wrap, and serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
