Instructions
Prepare Taco Seasoning (skip step if using store-bought)
In a small bowl combine salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, Mexican chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, and cayenne.
Season Chicken, Onion & Peppers
In a large mixing bowl or a gallon size ziplock bag (easy clean-up), add chicken tenders, sliced peppers and onions. Add oil and toss well using tongs.
Add salt and all dry spices and toss till everything is coated evenly.
Roast in the Oven
Turn the oven on HIGH Broil mode. Spread the seasoned chicken, peppers and onions evenly on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet (no parchment).
Place the baking sheet on the top layer, making sure there's a 2-inch distance from the broiler plates. Broil for 10-12 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Serve
Serve chicken fajitas with your favorite condiments in tortilla wraps, tacos, salad or with a side of Mexican Rice.
Notes
Substitute chicken tenders with 1-lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut each breast lengthwise into ½-inch thick pieces, then cut that in half, width-wise. If you prefer dark meat, use an equal amount of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, following the same slicing guidelines.
Taco seasoning: I prefer the flavor and aromatic quality of homemade fajita seasoning, so highly recommend it. Alternatively, use 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought seasoning packet instead. I like Trader Joe's brand.
Bake in one even layer. For even cooking, use a large enough sheet pan so the chicken and vegetables can be spread into a single layer.
Air Fryer Instructions: To make fajitas in the air fryer, follow the detailed instructions listed here: air fryer chicken fajitas.
Meal Prep and use in a variety of meals: Make a double batch and transform the fajitas into burritos, tacos, enchiladas, or tostadas. Follow the instructions above to create a fun and creative Mexican meal.
For low-carb fajitas, serve the chicken mixture in almond flour tortillas, or over a bed of greens or crisp lettuce cups, such as romaine or butter lettuce.
