Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

Vegetables

  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green)
  • 1 large onion

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Finishing

  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking. Chop the red and green bell peppers and the large onion into bite-sized pieces to pair perfectly with the chicken.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chicken and chopped vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet to promote even cooking and browning.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle fresh lime juice over the chicken and vegetables to add a bright, citrusy finish before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices and lime juice for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for a complete fajita meal.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier results.
  • Use parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup of the baking sheet.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding cayenne pepper or red chili flakes if desired.
