Making Sheet Pan or One Pan Chicken Fajitas

If you’re looking for a simple dinner recipe that takes little to no time at all, you’re going to love these simple Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas. It’s a simple recipe that packs a huge punch of flavor! 

Cooking with chicken as the main ingredient means that you know it’s going to take on the flavors and spices of the dish really, really well. Plus, it’s a great option to eat a leaner cut of meat while getting a big dose of protein, too. 

Do you meal prep for the week?

This is a great recipe for that too. After preparing and cooling, divide this among your meal containers. Using a scale like I have a link to below is a great way to portion out your meals. 

It’s time to make dinner super simple tonight and give these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita recipe a try!  Sheet Pan or One Pan cooking has become more popular as you can prepare almost your whole meal in the one pan. Cuts down on cooking and clean up.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Yes – although it’s a simple dish, the slicing and prepping can take a little time.  Slice everything ahead of time and store in the refrigerator separately.  Especially your chicken.  You could even add the oil and spices a couple of hours ahead of time to let the flavors marinate.

How easy is Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas?

Really simple.  Slice your chicken, peppers and onions.  Toss with oil and seasoning.d

Bake.  Isn’t that simple?C

How do I make the Southwest Seasoning?

 Find the link HERE but it’s simple with smoky paprika, onion powder, garlic, salt, sugar, and cumin.  Make up a large batch to have on hand.  Use a little in your corn or black beans for extra flavor.

How do I serve Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas?

The beauty of this recipe is that you have several options.  You can serve on tortilla shells as a regular fajita, in a bowl, or make a lettuce wrap.

With the base of chicken, peppers and onions, everyone can make it their own with their favorite toppings.  Maybe some love sour cream while other prefer guacamole.

What kind of toppings can I add?

A few suggestions include:

  • Cauliflower Rice
  • Cooked Brown Rice
  • Limes
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado
  • Guacamole
  • Black Beans
  • Corn or Corn Salad (see recipe below)
  • Chopped or sliced Jalapenos
  • Cheese
  • Chopped Cilantro

Black beans – you can cook your own, or just open a can.  Remember to add a little Southwest Seasoning

Corn – drain a can of whole kernal corn and roast in a skillet, preferably an iron skillet for about 5 minutes

Make your favorite Guacamole or purchase it

Corn Salad – HERE’s the recipe

How do you store leftovers for this dish?

All you need to do for leftovers is add it to a container with a lid and store them in the fridge. I try to eat all leftovers within 48 hours so that they’re as fresh as possible. Use these leftovers to make lunches so they don’t go to waste.  I hate having to toss food because I forgot it.

Using a Scale

I use a scale like this for many things including weighing ingredients or portioning out food for meal prepping.

    Yum! Love pan sheet cooking. So nice to not have several pots to wash which may or may not fit in the dishwasher. This will certainly make cooking fajitas easier and less messy.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
