Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 3 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) fajita seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional toppings: warm tortillas, salsa, sour cream, cheese, avocado
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning mix over everything.
- Add the water to the bowl. Toss well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately with your favorite warm tortillas and toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use a homemade fajita seasoning mix.
- If you prefer crispier vegetables, you can roast them for 10 minutes before adding the chicken to the pan.
- You can substitute steak or shrimp for the chicken. Adjust cooking time as needed.
