How to Make Baked Chicken Fajitas
Juicy chicken fajitas are easy to make. You only have a few steps of prep work and then the oven does all of the work for you. I like to pre-slice my chicken, but it’s not required if you want to use whole chicken breasts.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add a little olive oil to your baking dish and coat the bottom of the dish evenly.
Slice chicken, bell peppers, and onions into strips.
Add chicken, layer with onions, and top with seasoning.
Add bell peppers.
Cook in preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and serve with your favorite sides.
How to Serve Chicken Fajitas Baked in the Oven
Once the chicken and veggies are finished cooking serve them up in flour tortillas and top them with your favorites. Here are a few of my favorite toppings:
- Pico de gallo
- Sour cream
- Sliced avocado
- Shredded cheese
Do you have any favorite toppings you use that I haven’t listed? I like to load my fajitas with everything on hand. Go big or go home, right? At least that’s what my stomach says, my jeans say something different. 😉
