Healthy 20 Minute Chili Lime Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Recipe
Healthy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are full of flavor and seriously simple to make. A little chopping, slicing, and seasoning are all it takes. Everything comes together on one sheet pan in just 20 minutes. This recipe is on regular rotation when I need a super fast and tasty weeknight dinner.
- You may want to include green bell peppers or use whatever you have on hand.
- This recipe is easily adaptable. Use your favorite vegetables
- Additionally, you can change the protein if you prefer. Try using steak, just chicken, or just shrimp.
Tips and tricks for this recipe
- Start off by spreading the vegetables and chicken into an even layer on a large-rimmed sheet pan. You definitely need a pan with at least a 1-inch rim.
- Sprinkle with seasoning.If you have a favorite brand of fajita seasoning, you can use that instead.
- Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Also, to give the chicken and vegetables a nice char, you can broil them for the last 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle lime zest and lime juice over all before serving. I highly recommend you do not leave this step off. Lime juice and zest really brighten the flavor.
- Serve with heated tortillas, lime juice, sour cream, sliced avocado or guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
- For a low-carb version, serve with these low-carb tortillas, wrapped in lettuce, or over cauliflower rice.
Sheet pan meals are a favorite of mine. Everything cooks on one pan and you can’t beat the easy cleanup.
