Equipment Needed

• Large sheet pan: I like large half sheet pans rather than quarter sheet. I can’t find the exact one I have, but this one looks great and has great reviews. I like to line my sheet pan with parchment paper. Alternatively you may spray the baking sheet lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
• Citrus juicer: I have this one and I love it! It makes juicing lemons so much easier. If you don’t have an electric juicer you can also use a handheld one or just cut the lemon in half and squeeze!

Ingredients Needed

• Chicken breast: Sliced into strips. You can also use chicken tenderloins.
• Onion: Any color. I like red or yellow onion but it doesn’t really matter which you use.
• Bell peppers: Again, any color! I prefer colored peppers to green, but I do love the green too! I typically choose two different colors.
• White vinegar
• Lemons: You’ll juice the lemons and use the juice in the marinade! Lemons compliment fajitas perfectly. I’ve never tried this with bottled lemon juice before but I’m sure it would work in a pinch!
• Olive Oil
• Spices: Cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

How to Make Oven Chicken Fajita

1. Slice: Slice the chicken breast into fajita style strips. Do the same with the peppers and onion The peppers and onion you can return to the fridge for the time being. Add the chicken fajita strips to a large bowl.
2. Marinate: Mix the fajita marinade ingredients together. Add it to the chicken and stir to coat. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes – or longer if you want! A longer marinating time means more flavor! You can marinate the chicken for 3 to 4 hours if you choose.
3. Prepare: Prepare the sheet pan by spraying lightly with non-stick cooking spray or by lining with parchment paper. Drain the marinade from the chicken strips. Add the peppers and onion to the chicken. Mix in the olive oil and ensure all the chicken, peppers, and onion slices are coated. Arrange the fajita mix onto the prepared sheet pan.
4. Cook: Cook the chicken at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
