  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 each lime Juice of 1 lime, approx. 2 Tablespoons
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5-1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 0.75 tsp oregano
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt more or less as desired
  • 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut chicken into thin strips.
  3. Slice onion and peppers into thin strips as well.
  4. Place chicken and veggies in a bowl and top with marinade ingredients and seasoning, tossing well to coat evenly. (If meal prepping or marinading, place in fridge covered until ready to cook.)
  5. Before cooking, spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large sheet pan allowing for as little overlap as possible.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is 165°F internal temperature.
  7. In the last several minutes, place tortillas wrapped in foil in the oven to heat as well.
  8. Remove from oven and rest for about 5 minutes. (Absorb any excess liquid on the pan with a paper towel.)
  9. Serve with your favorite fajita toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use an instant-read meat thermometer: for best results.
  • Check internal temperature: to avoid over or under cooking your chicken; it should be at 165°F.
  • Use a large pan: for these baked chicken fajitas.
  • Space out the chicken: as much as possible, so there is no overlapping.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. You can reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or your preferred method.
