Sheet pan fajitas are made with seasoned chicken, bell peppers, onions, and sliced chicken all baked together on a sheet pan for the perfect blend of flavors. A great weeknight meal. Serve with warm flour tortillas, guacamole, and sour cream. This post was originally shared in 2016 and now includes a step by step video.

This easy weeknight recipe is my kind of comfort food. I love fresh Mex and all of the flavors and warmth of it. We've been swamped lately with marching band practice, piano lessons, and Boy Scout activities. Our evenings are definitely not our own so easy weeknight dinner recipes like this are golden over here!
My oven fajitas come together in a little over 30 minutes, and really hit the spot! To make a vegetarian version substitute veggies, extra onions, and sliced onions for the chicken. I like using a variety of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers because they are so pretty, but green is easily accessible and generally what I have on hand.
The icing on the cake is that they bake up using one pan. Don't you love one-pan dinners? Fewer dishes for those busy nights. Be sure to make a batch of homemade guacamole to go with these oven fajitas!
