Notes

Tips for Success

Cut the raw chicken against the grain for the most tender, delicious bites.

Cut the peppers and onions into thin, even strips for even cooking.

Oil up your pan to prevent sticking.

Use homemade (or another high quality) fajita seasoning blend.

Keep the chicken and vegetables on opposite ends of the pan while baking, in case one bakes more quickly than the other and needs to be removed from the oven while the other continues cooking.

Don't overbake. Fajitas should be baked at 425° for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Storing & Reheating

Leftover fajitas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat on the stovetop, transfer desired amount to a small skillet and heat over medium heat 5-10 minutes or until warmed through. To reheat in the oven, transfer desired amount to a rimmed baking sheet or small oven-safe baking dish. Heat at 350° for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
