Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment for easy clean up.

3. Place chicken, onions, and peppers in an extra large mixing bowl. Drizzle on olive oil and add salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.

4. Spread the chicken and pepper mixture evenly on the sheet pan and place in oven.

5. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes (tossing halfway through) or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender. If desired, place under broiler for a quick minute to brown.

6. Remove from oven and if desired, sprinkle cilantro over everything and give it a big squeeze of fresh lime juice.

7. TIP: Who says chicken fajitas have to be served in tortillas? Trick your family into thinking you made three different meals by preparing this recipe three different ways.

  1. Serve with rice, beans and avocado in a bowl.
  2. Start with a base of lettuce, add tomato, cucumber and avocado for a festive salad.
  3. Grab your favorite kind of tortillas (hard shell or soft) and sprinkle with cotija cheese for taco night.
