Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas with Smokey Chipotle Sauce

Chicken breast seasoned with tons of spice and cooked on a sheet pan with peppers and onions. We love this on salads, in a tortilla or even with rice. It’s great for meal prep, and as always, made easier by making it all on one sheet pan!

Here’s how I made it!

Chicken breast, garlic, limes, peppers, onions and a couple seasoning essentials are all you need for the sheet pan portion of this.

Mayo, sour cream or yogurt, cilantro, lime, and chipotles in adobo make up the yummy sauce.

Preheat your oven to 425 F.

Season your chicken well with garlic, zest and juice from a lime, EVOO, seasoning, and sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo.

Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and add your peppers and onions. Return the pan to the oven.

I do it this way because I like my vegetable tender-crisp but you can put them in earlier if you want them softer.

Meanwhile, make your sauce.

Remove after 10 minutes, check the temperature of the chicken, garnish with cilantro and serve your favorite way.
