The Quickest, Mexican Inspired, One Pan Dinner… in just 30 Minutes! Loaded with Chicken, Bell Peppers and Onions… Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas…!!

My Current Obsession: Sheet Pan Dinners!!!

Why do I love that? Well… not only are they super easy, require minimum ingredients, no pre-preps, & hassle free cleaning, they are also sooper delicious and can be prepared in under 30 minutes! That sounds so awesome, right? Oh Yeah, especially when running around on a busy day!

I am a huge lover of fajita recipes, in fact soo much that I keep on repeating fajita dishes every time we go to a Mexican restaurant. The sizzling sound of a hot skillet with charred chicken and veggies; that’s my favorite part of the dinner and makes me drool. I’ve tried cooking fajita many times on a stove top, and they came out good and I couldn’t complain. But still something was amiss, it was lacking that punch I felt in the restaurants. And then one day I thought, lets bake; a sheet pan fajita, just threw everything together onto a pan, drizzled with oil and sprinkled spices, into the oven, and… there it was! Deli…cious, charred veggies and chicken, just Perfect!! Restaurant Quality!!!

Got any doubt? Look at these pics guys!

The only time-consuming part (if any) for this recipe, is the slicing of your chicken and veggies thinly, so that they cook evenly and faster. You can add some jalapenos too if you like a spicier kick, although the chili powder and pepper already make the dish slightly spicy.

Once all your ingredients are cooked and ready, it’s time to plate! Warm your tortillas, fill with chicken and veggies, top with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, some pico de gallo, and garnish with cilantro. Roll them and Tadaa…its done! A Mexican Delight…!!

Enjoy, Happy Cooking…!
