This sheet pan chicken fajitas is the easiest dinner ever. About 15 minutes of prep time is all that is required for this easy, healthy, flavorful meal and it comes together in one sheet pan.

Don’t ya love sheet pan dinners?

My favorite part is the clean up <– hate doing dishes.

Especially if the chicken and veggies are all baked together in one pan, easy peasy.

Healthy sheet pan dinner…win-win! 

The best part? Kids gobble up these peppers as if they are candy, otherwise it’s a hard sell around here. All things wrapped in a tortilla is got to be good! 

It begins with a homemade fajitas seasoning – just a few pantry staples and you’ve got yourself a best chicken fajitas seasoning. Sure beats any store bought ones.

Then, you toss all ingredients right in the sheet pan (no dirtying another bowl). Bake and then broil for the last 5 minutes which really gives them a charred effect.

I love using chicken thighs instead of breasts, they stay moist and doesn’t dry out. But, you could totally use chicken breasts, if that’s what you have on hand.
