What You’ll Need
Equipment
- Half sheet pan
- Meat thermometer optional but highly recommended!
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Bell pepper: Red, yellow, or orange.
- White onion
- Seasoning: I always use my homemade taco seasoning! Can sub 1 fajita seasoning packet.
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Salt
- Cilantro and limes
How To Make It
- Prep oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly grease or spray sheet pan with oil.
- Cut chicken and veggies: Cut the chicken, bell pepper, and onion into thin strips and add to the sheet pan.
- Season and toss: Season the chicken and veggies with olive oil, taco seasoning, garlic, and salt. Toss around to distribute everything evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked (165F internal temp – a meat thermometer is amazing to prevent dried out chicken breast). Top with cilantro, limes, and enjoy with tortillas and cheese!
