- 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast, sliced
- 2 Bell Peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- Optional: Lime wedges, Tortillas, Sour Cream, Salsa for serving
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and warm tortillas.
Notes
- For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas right before serving.
- If your vegetables are not browning enough, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Use skirt steak or flank steak instead of chicken for beef fajitas. Adjust cook time slightly (aim for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare steak).
