Chicken Fajitas baked on a sheet pan is a quick weeknight dinner for a busy family. I’m all about an easy prep for dinner, You could cut all the veggies the night before, if needed. To follow up, you would just need to do would be to thinly slice the chicken and mix up the seasoning blend.
Place all the veggies in a large Ziploc bag. Seal and toss veggies. Add the chicken and toss again to evenly disperse the ingredients. Pour the seasoning mix, which has been blended with the garlic and olive oil, over the contents. Toss and massage seasoning onto chicken and veggies. These were large chicken breasts and I should have sliced the “slices” again so they would resemble strips better. If I was using the portioned chicken breasts I normally buy, they probably would have been perfectly-sized strips. There’s always next time!
Prepare pan liner with non-stick spray, if needed. Empty contents onto a rimmed sheet pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes, tossing about halfway through cooking time.
