    Another sheet pan dinner to keep your meal time easy! This delicious dinner comes together in 30 minutes and cooks up on one sheet pan.

    Healthy boneless skinless chicken breasts, peppers, onion, tomatoes, and pinto beans are baked in the oven and then drizzled with a delicious cilantro lime vinaigrette.

    This is a super versatile dinner. You can serve it as is with some chips and guacamole on the side, or scoop the chicken and veggies into flour tortillas and top with all your favorite burrito toppings: sour cream, avocado, salsa, hot sauce, or cheese.

    This recipe for sheet pan chicken would also make an amazing rice bowl. Simply make some rice while the sheet pan dinner cooks in the oven. Portion the rice into bowls and top with the chicken and vegetables, then drizzle with the cilantro lime vinaigrette, a little salsa, and sour cream.

    Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Lunch Prep

    This is a great recipe to make over the weekend when you have a little extra time and then portion into lunch size containers. It reheats perfectly and is a healthy and filling lunch.

    I would even recommend adding a little rice to the bottom of the container and then filling it with the Chicken Fajita mixture and topping it off with a little salsa.

    How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grab a large sheet pan.

    Wash and cut all the veggies into about 1 inch chunks:

    • 3 Bell Peppers- any color
    • 1 Yellow or Red Onion
    Bell Peppers and onions chopped into one inch chunks on a sheet pan

    Cut the chicken into a similar size, 1 inch chunks.

    In a small mixing bowl or mason jar blend the spices together:

    • 1 t chili powder
    • 1 t dried oregano
    • ¾ t cumin powder
    • ½ t salt
    • ½ t onion powder
    • black pepper to your taste

    Place all the veggies and chicken onto the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over top. With clean hands toss everything together so that the seasoning coats all the chicken and vegetables.

    Place in the oven for 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile make the cilantro lime vinaigrette (warning… you may want to double this recipe- it’s SO good!). In a mason jar with a lid or a small mixing bowl add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and shake the jar vigorously, or whisk if using a bowl.

    • olive oil
    • lime juice
    • Dijon mustard
    • honey
    • garlic
    • cilantro
    • salt
    Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette in a mason jar with cilantro, garlic, and squeezed limes on the counter

    After the chicken and veggies have cooked for 20 minutes pull the pan out and give everything a toss with a spatula. Add the drained pinto beans and halved tomatoes to the pan. Pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.

    Once the sheet pan comes out of the oven drizzle with the cilantro lime vinaigrette and serve!

    Chicken Fajitas in Tortillas

    • The Best 15-minute Refried Beans (I might make them with refried black beans & whole black beans since there are pinto beans in the sheet pan)

    • Grapefruit Margaritas
