Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas


I love few things more than I love a good sheet pan dinner. You combine all the ingredients, throw it on a pan, and into the oven it goes. Often done in 25-min or less, this is one of my go-to meal prep tricks for busy weeknight dinners. This particular recipe is one of the most popular sheet pan dinners at our house - the only other prep required is warming some small flour tortillas, shredding some cheese and getting out the sour cream and salsa. We also enjoy burrito bowl style over brown rice or or just as is - piled up on a plate. Whatever way you choose to whip up this easy baked fajita recipe, I hope you enjoy.
