Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400?.
- Slice the chicken thighs into thin (about 1”) strips. Drizzle the chicken strips with olive oil. Mix all the seasonings and season the chicken, and coat it evenly. Set the chicken aside to marinate while you move on to the next steps.Tip: cut the chicken against the grain for more tender strips.
- Slice the peppers and onions into long, thin strips.
- Add the chicken to one outside edge of your sheet pan in a single layer. Add the onions and peppers to the pan in a single layer as well.Tip: Be careful not to overcrowd your ingredients in a sheet pan meal. This will cause them to steam instead of roast and some ingredients may not cook all the way through. If you need to, it’s better to use two sheet pans than to overcrowd.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the bell peppers and onions. Toss them to coat evenly.
- Bake the fajitas for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the vegetables are tender.Tip: you can use the broil setting during the last few minutes to caramelize your vegetables and boost the flavor.Note: Chicken is done when it has reached an internal temperature of 165?. You can test the chicken with a meat thermometer to be sure it has been cooked long enough.
- If serving with tortillas, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven for about five minutes while the fajitas are cooking. Unwrap the tortillas from the foil when ready to serve.
- Garnish your chicken fajitas with fresh cilantro and lime and enjoy!
