Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Warm tortillas, for serving
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, which helps them roast beautifully.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp with some nice charring.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings like salsa, sour cream, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.

Tips

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your seasoning mix.
  • If you're short on time, use pre-sliced chicken and pre-cut fajita veggies.
  • You can also use this recipe with sliced steak for beef fajitas!
