    Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas {Baked}

    If you're wondering how to cook chicken fajitas the easy way, this is the recipe for you.  You can start with just about any cut of chicken, this is a chicken recipe using chicken breast but you can use tenderloin or thigh if you'd like.

    Slice the chicken into 1" strips, slice the veggies into ¾-1" strips, toss in some oil and seasonings and bake for 20-30 minutes.  These are definitely easy chicken fajitas!

    Oven Chicken Fajitas are a quick, easy, and healthy dinner option.  It's on the menu regularly at our house.  Even if the kiddos don't love veggies, it's a great dinner for them too.

    How much fajita meat per person should I serve?

    If you're wondering how much chicken to plan on for this meal, here's a bit of a rule of thumb.  If meat is the main dish, plan on ⅓ pound of chicken per person.  Since you'll be using these homemade chicken fajitas recipe in a taco shell and with toppings, ¼ pound per person should be great. 

    That being said, if you're feeding teenage boys or big eaters, plan on ⅓ lb per person.  This meal heats up great the next day so leftovers are always a bonus with these oven chicken fajitas.

    How to make Chicken Fajitas Tacos Seasoning

    If you are looking for the best chicken fajita recipe, and wondering how to season chicken for fajitas,  it starts with the seasonings. Here is a couple of fajita seasoning mixes you can make:

    Homemade Fajita Seasoning #1:

    • 4 teaspoon Chili Powder
    • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
    • 2 teaspoon Cumin
    • 2 teaspoon Paprika
    • 2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Cayenne

    I don't usually have a fajita seasoning mix on hand so the recipe included in this simple fajita recipe is a mix I came up with using taco seasoning.  It simplifies the recipe a little and tastes just as great. Here's a quick and simple chicken fajita recipe. Tacon seasoning has a lot of the same ingredients.  Add a few extra spices and you'll have the best-baked chicken fajita recipe. 

    Simple Fajita Seasoning #2:

    • 1 Tablespoon Taco Seasoning
    • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
    • ½ teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste

    This chicken recipe makes excellent chicken fajitas tacos, fajita burrito bowls or fajita chicken salad. These Mexican chicken fajitas are so versatile and can be enjoyed many ways. Sheet pan fajitas chicken is definitely the way to go!
