Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
If you need a dinner that’s easy, flavorful, and doesn’t leave a pile of dishes behind, these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are the perfect solution. Everything cooks together on one pan, making it a simple meal that’s great for busy weeknights.
Tender strips of chicken roast alongside colorful bell peppers and onions, all coated in fajita seasoning, olive oil, and fresh lime juice. As it bakes, the flavors blend together to create a savory, slightly smoky mixture that’s perfect for tacos, bowls, salads, or wraps.
