To achieve the perfect roast for your Zesty Sheet Pan Fajita Chicken, proper arrangement on the sheet pan is crucial. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats, take your marinated chicken and vegetable mixture and spread it evenly across a large, rimmed baking sheet. Make sure the chicken pieces and vegetables are in a single layer, allowing for optimal roasting and caramelization.

Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

2 bell peppers (any colors), sliced into strips

1 large red onion, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lime, juiced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and tortillas

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chicken and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onion.

      Season the Mixture: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Add the fajita seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the lime juice over the top. Toss everything together until well coated.

        Spread on the Sheet Pan: Transfer the seasoned chicken and veggies to the prepared sheet pan in an even layer, making sure there's enough space for everything to roast properly.

          Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with your favorite toppings and warm tortillas for a complete fajita experience!
