Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 (4 oz) red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 (4 oz) yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 oz (1 3/4 cups) fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix the chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Put the chicken strips, bell peppers, onion, garlic, oil, and lime juice in a large bowl and mix to distribute the oil and lime juice thoroughly. Sprinkle in the spice mixture and toss to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Spread the seasoned chicken and veggies on the sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time until the chicken is cooked through and tender. If you enjoy a little char on your fajitas, you can place the pan under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes at the end before serving.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
