See? SO quick and easy to make baked chicken fajitas!
I recommend using chicken breast for the healthiest option, or use chicken tenders. But you could also use chicken thighs for something a little richer.
I like to add some Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and cilantro. You could also add sliced jalapeños, pico de Gallo, avocado slices, or anything you like.
It’s easiest to cut chicken breast into small strips, but you could chop it into cubes or shred it if you prefer.
Serve up ingredients for people to assemble as they eat. Grab a tortilla, and place some chicken and veggies in it. Then you can add some extras for toppings.
One pan, a few ingredients, and 30 minutes. That’s all you need to make these healthy baked chicken fajitas! Tender chicken strips with bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and more, all ready to be piled on to tortillas for an easy meal. Easy, baked, healthy, done!
Recipe Tips and Notes
- If you’re not in a rush, you can coat the chicken in the yogurt mixture, place it in the fridge, and let it marinade for a while to infuse it with more flavor.
- Chop and slice up the ingredients (chicken and veggies) ahead of time to help speed up dinner prep.
- Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat them up in the oven to serve.
- Store leftover chicken fajitas in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
Are chicken fajitas healthy?
This sheet pan recipe is mostly just chicken breast and vegetables, oven baked, wrapped up, and served in flour tortillas. So it’s a good place to start if you’re looking for a healthy dinner!
To keep things light, we skip the cheese, but you can top them off with some queso fresco if you like. The Greek yogurt is another healthy little secret. It adds creaminess and flavor, but it’s low in fat and calories. It’s a great sour cream replacement!
What veggies are best for fajitas?
Bell peppers and onions are a must for baked chicken fajitas! They’re easy to slice up in long, thin pieces that fit perfectly in tortillas. Plus they release so much sweet flavor when baked. The tomatoes are super flavorful too!
Can I make baked chicken fajitas ahead of time?
These sheet pan chicken fajitas only take 30 minutes from start to finish, but if you want to make them ahead of time, you can. The veggies and chicken can be baked and stored in the fridge for a few days. Just warm everything up in the oven when you’re ready to eat.
If you want to do just a bit of prep before dinner, slice up the vegetables so they’re ready to throw in the pan later.
Baked chicken fajitas are just so easy, and such a healthy option. This 30 minute sheet pan chicken fajita recipe is something everyone will be excited to see on the table!
