Sheet Pan Chipotle Chicken Fajitas
These Sheet Pan Chipotle Chicken fajitas are why I love protein prepping. I love serving these family style right on the sheet pan!
Creator: Leslie Stokes
These fajitas are exactly why I love protein prepping.
The chicken is already marinated, so when dinner rolls around all I have to do is slice it thin, toss it with peppers and onions, and throw everything onto a screaming hot sheet pan.
One little trick completely changes the recipe: I actually place my sheet pan in the oven while it preheats.
When you add the chicken and vegetables to the hot pan, you immediately hear that sizzle. It helps everything caramelize instead of steaming and gives you those delicious roasted edges you’d normally only get at a restaurant.
I love serving these family style right on the sheet pan with warm tortillas and all of our favorite toppings.
Everyone builds their own fajitas, which always makes dinner a little more fun.
