SHEET-PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS



Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas image

You might think fajitas are too fussy for a weeknight, but this easy, foolproof version roasts on a sheet pan and can be ready in an hour. Because the ingredients are thinly sliced, everything cooks in a flash - and with little attention required. Smoked paprika, chipotle chiles and a quick stop under the broiler provide the smoky flavor that would traditionally come from the grill. This recipe is very adaptable: Chicken is called for here, but you could also use shrimp or skirt steak. For a vegetarian version, substitute fresh corn kernels, mushrooms, poblano peppers or zucchini for the meat. Cut the vegetables into sizes you'd want in a taco, coat them in the lime-chipotle marinade, roast until cooked, then broil until charred.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, zested and juiced (about 2 teaspoons zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, to taste, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin or crushed cumin seeds
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 bell peppers, any color or a combination
1 large red onion
8 flour tortillas, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together 4 tablespoons oil, the lime zest and juice, chipotle chiles, cumin and paprika with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken, toss to coat and set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
  • Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove stem and seeds and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Peel and halve the onion and cut it into 1/4-inch slices. On a sheet pan, toss the bell peppers and onion with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Gently shaking off excess marinade as you go, transfer the chicken to a second sheet pan. Roast the chicken and vegetables until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is out of the oven, move an oven rack close to the broiler. Turn on the broiler and transfer the sheet pan of vegetables to the rack. Broil until charred to your liking, 2 to 5 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are broiling, place the tortillas directly on a free oven rack until warm, about 1 minute, flipping once halfway through. Wrap the tortillas in a kitchen towel or foil to keep them warm.
  • Serve chicken and vegetables with tortillas and desired toppings.
