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.

Those people who made those rude comments are clearly jealous of your talents. They feel poorly about themselves and see someone succeeding and want to cut you down. They are in a bad place in their onw lives and want to take it out on someone. You’re better than them (and they know it). Move on with your head held high.
Thank you so much for your kind words Susie ????

I bet their mother is so proud of them!!
You know, I had that thought too, but I worry that that’s exactly where they learned how to talk to people :/ It motivates me to really impress upon my children to treat *everyone* with kindness, love, and respect.
