Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Here's what you'll need:
- 2 teaspoons of chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of coriander
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken tenderloins, sliced into thick strips
- 1 orange bell pepper, cored and sliced into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cored and sliced into strips
- 1 medium red or yellow onion, halved and sliced into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 8 taco size flour tortillas (or go carb free with romaine lettuce scoops)
- For garnish: Sour cream, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Whisk together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, and a few shakes of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Remove 1/3 of the mixture and set aside for later.
- Add in your raw chicken strips to the bowl with the seasoning and toss until evenly coated. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with aluminum foil. Spread out the sliced peppers and onions on half of the baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over top and toss lightly to coat. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning generously (and evenly) over the veggies.
- Place the chicken strips on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through cooking time.
- Warm up your tortillas, take out your garnish ingredients and chow down!
This is an easy, delicious weeknight dinner. I like that it doesn't take much prep, and it is healthy and filling. I found the original recipe on Cooking Classy, but word on the street is Mama Szabo has a tasty version as well. (Coming soon...)
