Next, place the onion on its side and slice it into even, circular rings. ![]() Grill or Sauté: Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or stovetop skillet until its browned and cooked through. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for enhanced flavor. For the onion, first remove the stem and root ends and peel away the outer skin. Marinate: Slice the chicken into thin strips and toss them in a marinade of olive oil, lime juice, spices, salt, and pepper. Now it’s time to slice the bell peppers into strips, as well as the onion. Cutting at this angle increases the surface area of each piece for better seasoning absorption and even cooking, while also shortening muscle fibers for more tender chicken strips in your fajitas! Pro Tip: Slice the chicken breast at a 45-degree angle. Now, cut the chicken against the grain into thin strips, approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick. Alternately, you can place the breast on a cutting board and hold it flat with the palm of your hand, while carefully using a sharp knife to slice horizontally through the middle of the breast, keeping the knife parallel to the cutting board, until you have two even, thinner pieces. If they are very thick, pound them to an even thickness of about ½″. Pat the chicken dry and trim off any visible fat. We start with 1lb of fresh boneless, skinless chicken breast. And just like that we have a whole fajita meal in a fraction of the time of traditional methods with all the fresh, vibrant flavors we know and love. We take it out and serve it immediately on fresh tortillas with our favorite toppings. Instead, we’ll take a slightly different approach and lay out all the seasoned ingredients on a sheet pan (cookie sheet, baking sheet), and let it cook to perfection in the oven for around 20 minutes. No need to have hot oil splattered all over or multiple pans on the stove top. Sheet pan chicken fajitas are a simple way of cooking a traditional Mexican Food favorite, with minimal fuss and minimal cleanup. While it’s cooking, get all your delicious toppings together and get ready for a wonderful meal. Prep the vegetables, slice up the chicken, mix in the spices and toss it all on a sheet pan in the oven. It’s also a whole lot easier to make with this simple recipe. I love when it’s fajita time! I mean, all the flavors, all the colors, all the delicious toppings – you can really make an event out of it. ![]()
