These Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Chicken Fajitas are as flavorful as the colors are vibrant. Made entirely in the oven, these fajitas are easy enough for a quick weekday meal but, delicious enough to serve to friends when hosting a homemade fiesta. Prepare the chicken strips and cut the vegetables up in advance and it becomes a 30 minute meal in the making.

My family could eat Mexican food nearly every day of the week without a single complaint. I admit, I love it too, and never tire of the robust seasonings and flavors. My life is incredibly busy, so like you, I also look for shortcut meals that don’t require a lot of fuss to prepare. Skillet meals like sirloin tips with peppers and onion, sheet pan kielbasa and potato hash and sweet chili chicken and vegetable foil packs are some of our favorites. These chicken fajitas also fit that bill perfectly. There’s nothing like coming home after a busy afternoon and having the ingredients ready to go. When prepping in advance, you can quickly arrange everything on a large sheet pan, or two, and toss everything into the oven to bake.

Prep the Ingredients in Advance and You’ll Have Dinner Ready in a Snap

  • To save time, I recommend taking the time to prepare the ingredients for these chicken fajitas in advance and place in separate Ziploc bags. Pop them into in the fridge and they’ll be ready for baking you when you’re ready to eat.
  • To assist in browning the vegetables, stir halfway through roasting and drain any excess liquid from the pan to prevent them steaming instead of roasting.
  • Serve these chili-lime chicken fajitas with warm tortillas, a dollop of sour cream then topped with some homemade pico de gallo and you’re good to go.
