These Baked Chicken Fajitas are going to be a new family favorite! Made with just a few simple ingredients in 30 minutes, your family will fall in love with these easy chicken fajitas.
The prep time on these oven chicken fajitas is only 10 minutes, and then the whole thing bakes up in the oven for 20 minutes. That makes this a fast and easy 30 minute meal with 20 minutes of hands-off time. They are so simple and my family always devours them. But what makes them truly special is my five star homemade fajita seasoning recipe. I’m sure you already have all the ingredients for it in your pantry.
How to Make Chicken Fajitas in the Oven
Here is a brief overview of how these sheet pan chicken fajitas come together. Be sure to scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full recipe including all measurements.
- Cut your chicken and veggies. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and dice the peppers and onion. Add them to a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Add the fajita seasoning. Either grab my recipe or a packet from the grocery store. Add a drizzle of olive oil and bit of lime juice and mix it all together.
- Bake the fajitas. Cook for 19 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Serve and enjoy! Enjoy immediately with tortilla shells.
How to Serve Chicken Fajitas
Serve your fajita chicken and vegetable mix in warm tortillas. You can use flour or corn tortillas, whichever you prefer the flavor of. These fajitas are perfectly delicious without toppings, but if you want to add something here are some ideas:
- Sour cream
- Cilantro
- Pico de Gallo
- Sliced avocado or guacamole
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Store any leftover fajita mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat in the microwave or oven until heated through. Always use your best discretion with leftovers.

Hi,
Don’t let mean people get you down. They are bullies. Your recipes are wonderful. You have special talents that no one can take away from you. Sticks & stones. I was badly bullied as a kid, it hurts. Hold your head high & keep doing the wonderful things you do.
Aww, thank you for the kind words, Kim! Fortunately I’ve built a much thicker skin since starting this blog.

Lisa…How do you char your tortillas like that?? I’m stumped….
love your blog and your recipes….I lost count a very long time ago on how many I’ve made and repeated (a ton is as close as I can get….)
Thank you for all your hard work , it is greatly appreciated by my family!
I spray them lightly with cooking spray and then toss them in a hot skillet. But really, don’t do it. It makes for pretty pictures, but they get so super crunchy. It’s not the best for eating. If you look closely, you can see some of the photos with them bent aren’t charred because it made the tortilla shells crack too much. Thank you so much for your kind words, honestly, I can’t even tell you how much these kinds of comments mean to me.

I didn’t realize you knew Ashley. I’ve been following her and receiving her emails for as long as I’ve followed you. I find myself thinking of you when I read her posts and of her when I read yours because you are both such strong, amazing women. I’m glad you found each other as you share a perspective most of us cannot fully comprehend. I hope the two of you continue to share your interesting lives and great recipes with all of us because they are enjoyed so much by so many!
Oh Melanie, thank you for saying this. I just sent Ashley a screen shot of your comment, lololol. She makes my life a much better place, so I’m so happy that you follow her and appreciate her as much as I do.

The 30 minute baked Chicken Fajiras sound great. As a diabetic a recipe that you can leave out the carbs (fajitas) without affecting the finished product is terrific. My wife and I are on a diet plan that this will be perfect for. We plan to cut up an oversized chicken breast (courtesy of Costco), and make our own easy peasy seasoning.
Thank you

I really hope you guys love it! These would be great in bibb lettuce like a lettuce wrap or on a bed of lettuce like a salad. I’ve had this that way and loved it!

I have printed and tried several of your recipes. If one doesn’t strike my fancy, I just go on. We all have different palates and likes and dislikes. Thank you!
I’m glad you have found some you like, Cathy!

Great flavor, kids loved them also. The baking method worked well. I covered the pan with a layer of foil the second half and it cooked perfectly without drying out.
I’m so glad everyone loved them!
