Chicken fajitas, but make it a baking sheet dinner.


My kids will stuff anything in a taco/wrap, so naturally I always try to come up with new ways to stuff them.


This one is a sheetpan, mexican style chicken fajita, that is put together so fast, you won’t even believe it took you this fast to put dinner together!



mexican


  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut in strips

  • 1 red pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow pepper, sliced

  • 2 small red onions, sliced in half moons

  • 1 can of corn

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 1 tsp chilli powder (don’t add if you don’t like heat)

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tbsp salt

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, minced



DIRECTIONS:



  1. Start by preheating oven to 400 F. I use a baking dish that measures around 10x14 but you can also use a half size baking sheet.

  2. Combine all ingredients directly on baking dish. Toss everything so that all seasoning gets distributed. Spread evenly on baking sheet.

  3. Cover with a damp parchment paper so that the moisture stays locked in.

  4. Bake for 35 minutes. Uncover for an extra 3 minutes on broil to give it a final touch of color.



Make a quick guac, char some tortillas or get yourself butter lettuce (it’s soft as butter!) and layer your chicken mix with guac, cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime and jalapeno for some heat.
