Sheet Pan Fajitas

Perfect for the big game. A one-sheet pan meal to feed a crowd! (Or double the recipe with 2 sheet-pans)

One more note, if you want your chicken to be moist like a restaurant's you will need to brine it first. That’s their secret:) I’ ’m telling you, you won’t believe the difference. This is super easy and guarantees moist delicious chicken breasts. Here’s a link on how to do that. HOW TO BRINE. They refer to grilling the chicken in this article, but it’s the same brine process if baking or roasting chicken.

Enjoy my friend!

Sheet Pan Fajitas

Sheet pan fajitas are quick, easy and don't require a lot of clean-up.Yay!

4. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add it to the sheet pan with the vegetables.

9. Serve with tortillas, cilantro, and or sour cream if desired.

Notes

• If you want your chicken to be moist like a restaurant's you will need to brine it first. This is super easy and guarantees moist delicious chicken breasts. See my note in this blog post on how to easily do that!

• I buy my chicken breast when it’s on sale and freeze it for quick dinners.

• Top with jalapenos if you like it spicy, or add them to the vegetables when baking.
