Sheet Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas

We love sheet pan meals since there is so little cleanup.  These Sheet Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas are a personal favorite.  They are delicious, full of flavor, and so easy to make!  I can throw this together, pop in the oven, and spend more time catching up with my family about their day.  Served with tortillas and all of the toppings, they can also be a healthier option for many!

Sheet Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend investing in silicone baking mats for use with your sheet pans.  They make cleanup much easier, and are ideal for keeping your food from sticking to the pan.  I love this, especially when trying to eat healthier.  It gives me the ability to use less oil

While we used a purple bell pepper in these sheet pan-baked chicken fajitas, they are hard to find in stores.  This one came from a farmer’s market, so if you can’t find one locally, just choose another bell pepper.  I love the colorful look on my plate, but it isn’t necessary for great flavor.
