Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
porcje: 3 servings
składniki
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fajita seasoning
- zest from 1 lime
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast
- 3 bell peppers preferably red, yellow, and green
- 1 red onion
- juice from 1 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup (50g) shredded cheddar optional
wykonanie
- Position an oven rack about 4 inches (10cm) below the upper heating element and preheat your broiler on high (or turn on the grill setting).
- Whisk the Fajita seasoning with lime zest and olive oil in a large baking pan.
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick strips. Cut the peppers into 1/4-inch (5mm) thin strips, cut onion in half, and slice slightly thicker than bell peppers.
- Add the chicken, bell pepper, and onions to the baking sheet. Toss until evenly coated in the seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Broil for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent it from burning.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and drizzle the chicken with lime juice.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake again for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Enjoy!
uwagi
- I like to serve this dish with avocado slices, cilantro, tortillas or cilantro lime rice and this creamy cilantro lime sauce: mix in a food processor/blender 1/2 cup of roasted bell peppers and onions + 2 tablespoons yogurt + 1/2 avocado + small bunch of cilantro + 1 tablespoon sour cream + 2 teaspoons lime juice + salt and pepper, to taste.
- Fajita seasoning: 2 tablespoons chili powder (this is a spice mix not pure chili pepper) + 1 tablespoon cumin + 1 tablespoon oregano + 1 tablespoon paprika + 1 tablespoon garlic powder + 1 tablespoon onion powder. You will need 2 tablespoons of this spice mix for this recipe.
