Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are one of our favorite healthy dinners! These baked chicken fajitas are lighter in calories and fat but still packed with flavor. These healthy chicken fajitas are an easy sheet pan fajitas recipe that everyone will love. It’s the perfect dinner for two!

What’s in Baked Chicken Fajitas?

One pan, a few ingredients, and 30 minutes. That’s all you need to make these sheet pan chicken fajitas! Tender chicken strips with bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and more, all ready to be piled onto tortillas for an easy meal. Easy, baked, healthy, done!

Roma Tomatoes: Add freshness and acidity to the dish.
Yellow Onion: Adds an earthy, sweet flavor.
Bell Peppers: Add crunch and a delicious earthy flavor.
Plain Greek Yogurt: My trick to making a skinny sheet pan fajitas dinner is replacing the sour cream with Greek Yogurt. Trust me when I say that you won’t taste the difference!
Fajita Seasoning : Gives these fajitas their classic flavor.
Fresh Cilantro: Adds a pop of color and freshness. Feel free to swap for parsley if you’re not a fan!
Chicken: I used boneless, skinless chicken breast, but thighs will also work.
Flour Tortillas: My favorite vessel for fajitas. For an even healthier option, try cassava or almond flour tortillas.

Pro Tip: I recommend warming up your tortillas, so just wrap a stack of them in foil and place them in the oven about 8 minutes before the rest of the meal is done.

Variations on Healthy Chicken Fajitas

There are many ways to change up this chicken to better suit your tastes. You could swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs or even turkey. If you don’t love fajita seasoning, try using taco seasoning instead.

The yellow onion can be swapped for a white, sweet, or red onion, and you can use any color or combination of colors of bell peppers! Try swapping the flour tortillas for corn or cassava flour tortillas, or skip the tortillas altogether and serve this chicken on top of pasta , salad , or Mexican rice !

I usually go for 1 chicken breast per person!

You should slice the chicken into strips before cooking it. This will help it cook at the same rate as the vegetables in the oven!

If your chicken is tough, it is likely overbaked. I recommend cutting the chicken and vegetables into equal sizes so that they cook at the same rate. Check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer towards the end of cooking. It should read 165°F.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List

It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!

It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.

However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.

In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.

I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store

This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.

So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
