Ingredients
  

For the Fajitas:
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs cut into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 2 bell peppers sliced into matchsticks
  • 4 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your fajitas roast evenly and develop a lovely caramelization.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables
    In a mixing bowl, combine the cut chicken thighs, sliced onions, and bell peppers. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with chili powder and sea salt. Toss everything together until well coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread on the Sheet Pan
    Transfer the mixture onto a large sheet pan, spreading everything out in a single layer. This helps to achieve that perfect roast.
  4. Step 4: Roast Until Tender
    Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. You may want to stir halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
    Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve your Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas in warm tortillas, or over rice, topped with your favorite garnishes like avocado, salsa, or fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Cut chicken and veggies into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Marinating in spices for 15 minutes enhances flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan for a crispy texture.
