Easy Healthy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are one of our favorite dinners to make. Made with all simple and healthy ingredients and you do all the cooking in one pan! This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and such an easy dinner idea.

These sheet pan chicken fajitas are one of the most popular dinner recipes with my crew. It is one of those meals everyone eats because they can customize it to their liking. My 5 year old and 3 year old don’t love peppers so they do tortillas, chicken with guacamole. The rest of us love all the fixings with thee.

Everyone is happily fed and no complaints when I make these. And I love how they are soooo incredibly easy to make. Add the chicken, veggies and spices and oil to making sheet. While it bakes, warm up some tortillas and make the guac! It is foolproof and one of those dinners you will make again and again.

And I know what you’re thinking, the cutting of the veggies does not take awhile. I am by no means a patient chopper and it takes me about 2 minutes to do this. You could also try to be pre-cut too if you want. After the veggies are cut, add to baking sheet with the chicken and mix everything on up.

This is a great meal to try any night of the week. It is especially great for a family-style dinner. I cannot wait to hear what you think. Let me know if you try it!
