Notes
- Buy chicken tenders instead of breasts – it’ll save you time cutting them into fajita-size strips! I’m all about time-saving and to be honest, I hate cutting raw meat. So I buy the chicken boneless, skinless chicken tenders so I just slice each tender into 2-3 pieces which saves a few minutes!
- Feel free to switch up the veggies to suit your taste! Sometimes I’ll add poblanos if I have them on hand and I’ve even added thickly sliced mushrooms into the mix with a great result. This recipe is super versatile, just make sure whatever veggies you’re using to account for their difference in cook time (ie: carrots and potatoes take longer to roast than peppers, onions, and mushrooms).
- Slice everything to a similar thickness. This ensures that it all cooks evenly.
- No judgment if you decide to use a packet of fajita seasoning. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. But when I have time, I like to season with my own blend!
- In fact, you can keep homemade fajita seasoning on hand! Mix up a large batch and keep it in a sealed jar in the pantry for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to make sheet pan fajitas, measure out 3 tablespoons of the mixture.
- Add a couple pinches of cayenne to give the fajitas a little kick! If your family likes it hot, add a pinch of cayenne or chipotle powder for a little extra zing. Just remember – a little goes a long way!
- Feel free to prep the veggies, chicken, and spice mixture a day or two in advance. Then when you’re ready for dinner you can throw everything on the sheet pan, toss it with the seasoning, and bake!
