Don’t forget to check the prep time and cook time in the recipe card below before you begin. Jump to Recipe PREHEAT OVEN: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper or foil. MARINATE CHICKEN: Slice the chicken breasts and vegetables into strips that are about 1/2 inch thick. Using our chipotle marinade, marinate the chicken and vegetables for at least 30 minutes. If you prefer, you can slice the chicken after it’s been marinated. PLACE ON BAKING SHEET: Place the chicken pieces and vegetables on the baking sheet in an even layer. COOKING TIME: Bake the fajitas for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken with tongs or a spatula, and cook for another 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken when it is at least 165°F. OPTIONAL: If the chicken is at least 150° we recommend turning on the broiler and moving the sheet pan to the top rack. Broil for 2-5 minutes, until the internal temperature is at least 165° and the outsides begin to crisp a little. KITCHEN TIPBefore removing the chicken from the oven, be sure the internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees. SERVING: Sprinkle sheet pan with fresh lime juice and cilantro. Serve the chicken fajita sheet pan meal with tortillas and your favorite toppings. STORAGE TIPS Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning. Refrigerate: Store cooked chicken and vegetables in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days if you can’t eat it the next day. Freeze: Store cooked chicken in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months. We don’t recommend freezing cooked vegetables. Defrosting: Defrost chicken in the refrigerator overnight.

Can you use a fajita seasoning instead of the marinade?We feel like marinades lock in more flavor than dry seasoning. However, if you have pre-packaged fajita seasoning on hand, you can toss it with a few tablespoons of olive oil and allow the chicken to marinate in that. Feel free to add more cumin or chili powder for extra flavor. Is fajita seasoning the same as taco seasoning? Very similar but not the same. You will notice that taco seasoning usually has more chili powder whereas fajita seasoning contains more cumin. Often times taco seasoning is spicier as well. chipotle, cilantro 5 from 5 votes Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas Course dinner, Main Dish Cuisine American, Mexican Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Total Time 50 minutes Print Pin Rate 8 fajitas Delicious and easy fajitas cooked on a sheet pan in the oven.
