Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

While many are focused on Thanksgiving meal planning for next week, I thought it would be fun to share a favorite Mexican recipe! Not only does this feed the whole family, but it’s easy to make, and clean-up is a breeze because it’s all cooked in one pan. I found this dish on the Low Carb Nomad website, a great resource for low-carb and keto recipes. You can make traditional fajitas with flour or corn tortillas, use lettuce as a wrap, or make a fajita bowl. Use the toppings of your choice including lettuce, tomato, beans, corn, cheese, jalapeno, lime, or avocado… the options are endless!

Ingredients

  • 3 peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the vegetables and chicken onto the sheet pan.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle the spices on top of the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, stir, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Check to ensure the chicken is fully cooked (to 160 degrees.)
