Description

These Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a simple and flavorful weeknight dinner option. Juicy chicken thighs are seasoned with a delicious spice blend, then roasted with bell peppers and onions for a delicious meal that can be served with your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

Scale

Fajitas:

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Spice Blend:

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Serve With:

  • Almond flour tortillas (such as Siete)
  • Store bought or homemade guacamole
  • Salsa (such as Siete or Late July Organic)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the spice blend ingredients. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl, drizzle with avocado oil, and sprinkle the spice blend over the chicken. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Assemble the fajitas: On a large sheet pan, arrange the bell peppers, onions, and seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve: Serve the sheet pan chicken fajitas with almond flour tortillas, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • You can customize these fajitas by adding additional toppings such as sour cream, cheese, or jalapenos.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, you can increase the amount of chili powder in the spice blend.
  • Feel free to use chicken breasts instead of thighs if you prefer white meat.
