Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
- 4 bell peppers, any color, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: On the prepared baking sheet, add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and avocado oil. Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Bake the Fajitas: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 22 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Serve the fajita bake hot with your choice of accompaniments such as lettuce wraps, baked sweet potato, cauliflower rice, or warm corn tortillas along with your favorite fajita toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Notes
- Use a variety of colored bell peppers for an attractive and nutritious dish.
- If you prefer spicier fajitas, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
- Avocado oil is chosen for its high smoke point and healthy fats; olive oil can be substituted if desired.
- For a low-carb option, serve the bake over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.
- Make sure to slice the chicken and vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
