Craving a delicious, quick dinner? These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas have you covered! Tender chicken and caramelized vegetables come together in one easy meal. Pop it in the oven, and you’ve got a flavorful dinner in less than 30 minutes!

For years, I (Kalie) avoided making fajitas, thinking they were too time-consuming. However, one evening, a craving for chicken fajitas couldn’t be ignored. So, I decided to create this quick and simple recipe.

As a busy wife and mom of two, this has quickly become one of my all-time favorite sheet pan recipes. It perfectly combines tender chicken with vibrant summer vegetables. Plus, it’s not only easy to make but also requires minimal cleanup. Best of all, the leftovers are perfect for repurposing into new meals.

Trust us—once you try these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, they’ll definitely become a go-to meal in your weeknight dinner rotation.

Have you checked the ingredients in store-bought fajita seasoning? Unfortunately, most are packed with preservatives, artificial flavors, processed sugars, and way too much sodium. Yuck!

Instead, this recipe uses a simple homemade spice blend made from staple seasonings you probably already have. Not only is it more affordable, but it’s also free from all those processed ingredients. What’s more, it’s so flavorful that we even use it to make vegan chickpea fajitas!

Absolutely! Feel free to swap the chicken for shrimp, thinly sliced steak, or even chickpeas for a tasty vegan option. This recipe is versatile and works with whatever protein you prefer!

We recommend prepping a double batch of this fajita recipe. You can use it for multiple meals throughout the week or freeze it for later. It’s a simple way to embrace the “cook once, eat twice” method by transforming leftovers into new, exciting dishes.

This fajita recipe isn’t just quick to make—it’s also freezer-friendly. While you’ve got everything out and the dishes are dirty, why not make extra? Freezing it will save you time during busy workweeks.

Once your fajitas have cooled completely, store them in a gallon-size freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm up!

Pro Tip: Use your leftover fajitas in a variety of meals throughout the week. Mix and match them with other ingredients to create fresh, new meals (check out the ideas further down the page)!

This dish actually tastes just as good, if not better, after sitting in the fridge for a day or two. In fact, you’ll be eagerly anticipating the leftovers the next day!

To Store: First, place leftovers in an airtight container. Then, store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, ensuring they stay fresh.

To Freeze: Alternatively, for longer storage, transfer leftovers to a freezer-safe container. By freezing them, you can keep them fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm up for a quick meal.

We like to keep our chicken fajitas really simple with just a squeeze of lime, slices of avocado, maybe some fresh pico de gallo and a small dollop of Greek yogurt, but there are so many other ingredients you can top your chicken fajitas with.

• Limes
• Shredded lettuce
• Shredded red cabbage
• Sliced avocado, guacamole or Mashed Avocado Spread
• Finely chopped jalapeños or pickled jalapeños
• Grilled pineapple
• Cilantro
• Cotija or queso fresco cheese
• Greek yogurt (a wonderful substitute for sour cream)
• Salsa or pico de gallo
• Hot sauce
• Beans (black or pinto)

• Time-saving: If you’re tight on time, use chicken tenders rather than breasts. You can cut them into fajita-size strips (slice each tender into 2-3 strips), rather than cutting breasts into cubes.
• Time-saving: These herb shears are an amazing way to minimize chopping. They save so much time in the kitchen and are something we would highly recommend if you frequently use fresh herbs in your meals.
• Pro tip: The difference in taste between fresh and bottled juice is monumental. Our secret to lime squeezing success… we use a citrus squeezer. We like to think we’re semi-strong gals, but to be completely honest, squeezing limes hurts our hands. Citrus squeezers don’t cost much and they make life so much easier. They also extract twice as much juice. This Bellemain Citrus Squeezer is the one we keep on hand and has been a saving grace when extracting freshly squeezed citrus juice.
• Easily customizable: If you frequent FfL, you know that we’re all about modifying recipes to suit your flavor preferences and needs. This recipe is extremely versatile. You can switch up the veggies to suit you and your family’s tastes or you can use up whatever veggies you have in the fridge. Just make sure to choose veggies with a similar cook time or account for the difference.
• Heat: If your family loves a little kick like ours does, add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne for a little zing of heat.
• Serving: Set all your toppings out buffet-style.
