Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
- 4 bell peppers, any color, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Oils
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: On the prepared baking sheet, mix the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, all seasonings, and avocado oil together until evenly coated.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 22 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Enjoy the fajita bake on its own or serve with lettuce wraps, over a baked sweet potato, on top of cauliflower rice, or wrapped in a corn tortilla with your favorite fajita toppings.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat; chicken breasts work great for a leaner option.
- Feel free to use a mix of bell pepper colors for a vibrant dish.
- If you prefer spicier fajitas, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free meal, avoid cheese and sour cream toppings.
