Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 3/4" thick strips that are 2-3" long.
  • 3 large bell peppers any color you'd like, cut into 3/4" strips.
  • 1 large red onion cut into cut into 3/4" strips.
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • Make the fajita seasoning: Combine the black pepper, salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, coriander, oregano, and cayenne in a small dish and set aside.
  • For the fajitas: Preheat the oven to 425° and move the oven rack to the middle level. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Spread the sliced vegetables in one layer on the sheet pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning over the top of the vegetables. Toss to coat.
  • Place the chicken strips into a bowl and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Add the remaining fajita seasoning to the chicken and toss with tongs or a rubber spatula until the chicken is completely coated.
  • Arrange chicken strips on top of vegetables in one layer.  Ensure that no pieces of chicken are stuck together.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the thickest piece of chicken registers 165F on a meat thermometer and is no longer pink inside. 
  • Toss the chicken and veggies so that they are evenly coated in spices and juices.
  • Move the oven rack to the third position from the top and return the sheet pan to the oven.
  • Set the broiler to high heat and broil the chicken and vegetables until the chicken starts to get a little crisp on the edges and the veggies start to get a little char on them, 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve in a warm tortilla or on top of cooked rice.
