  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 3 bell peppers (various colors), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Flour or corn tortillas for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing your chicken breasts into strips and slicing the bell peppers and onion into thin, even pieces. This ensures all ingredients cook uniformly.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken and vegetables with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the fajitas for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
  5. Once cooked, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with warm tortillas for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure vegetables are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for juicier meat.
  • Adjust spice levels to your preference by adding more chili powder or chili flakes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
