These Baked Chicken Fajitas have been re-pinned more than 500,000 times on Pinterest! They’re quite simply one of my favorite weeknight chicken dinner recipes along with Teriyaki Chicken, Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken, Chicken Pad Thai, General Tso’s Chicken, Baked Chicken Breasts with Potatoes and Green Beans and Lemon Chicken.

Baking the chicken and vegetables produces a charred edge and special sweetness that you won’t get in a skillet. I have made Baked Shrimp Fajitas and Steak Fajitas Foil Packets. You simply add the ingredients to the sheet pan, season and throw it in the oven. Clean-up is a breeze too!

Tips and Secrets for Making the Best Chicken Fajitas

• Cut your chicken against the grain into less than ½ inch strips. Freezing for 30 minutes before cutting makes it easier to slice.
• Consider marinate the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor if you have time.
• After mixing the chicken and vegetables with the seasoning, try to arrange the mixture in one single layer in the sheet pan. Use the largest sheet pan you have at home to avoid piling the chicken and vegetables too deep.
• When you add the tortillas to the sheet pan, make sure to mop up excess juices with paper towels to prevent the tortillas from being soggy.
