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.

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.
