One-Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas

One-Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas making your dinner prep easy, quick, and delicious!

My dad requested one thing for his birthday this year and that was to NOT go out to eat. He never likes a big fuss made for him, but we still always want to celebrate him of course. So I decided to think of something easy that I could make for my family that everyone would enjoy, would be quick to make, and would be an easy clean-up because the birthday boy can’t do dishes! 🙂

I had a ton of peppers left over from my Mexican Quinoa Salad and had some chicken defrosting, so I figured why not make a Mexican inspired fajita dinner? We also had leftovers from the salad so having this sheet pan dinner served overtop was perfect. I swear the flavors just keep getting better and better as it sits.

Anyway, this one-pan dinner is so beyond easy. But the best part? It’s freaking delicious. And all you need is chicken, peppers, onion, and spices. That’s it.
