Weeknight dinners can get stressful. Especially when there are kids and babies and work and school and deadlines involved like how it is in most of our lives. At the end of the day, all we want is to throw something together, let the oven, the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker cook our dinner for us, while we catch up with the rest of the day and our family. This is the ideal scenario, where take out or ordering out it not involved.

Yes, that happens sometimes too. And its ok!

These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas were invented for weeknight dinners. The leftovers, if any, can be tossed with some salad greens and taken for lunch the next day!

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas - Whole30

How to make chicken fajitas in a sheet pan?

Toss together chicken breast strips, strips of green, red, yellow and orange bell pepper and onion with some olive oil / avocado oil, mix of spices for fajita, salt and pepper. Spread them on a sheet pan. Bake at 350F for 20 mins.

I buy chicken breast strips pre cut for stir fry, so I don't have to cut out strips from the chicken breast. That much more time saved, right?!

What spices are there in a fajita spice mix?

Fajita spice mix has black pepper, chili powder, dried oregano, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and ground cumin. If you have all these individual spices, you can just mix them up in the proportion given in the recipe below or you can buy pre mixed fajita mix.
