Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced I recommend using fresh chicken breast for the best texture and flavor.
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced Choose any color you prefer; each offers a slightly different taste.
  • 1 piece red onion, sliced Adds sweetness and depth—don’t skip this ingredient!
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use a good quality olive oil to enhance the overall flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning This is the secret to achieving authentic fajita flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell pepper, and onion.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a sheet pan for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  2. Serve in tortillas with lime wedges and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C). Let it rest before serving to redistribute the juices.
