Helpful Kitchen Tools
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by cutting the veggies and chicken. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit so it will be ready when you are done making the fajitas.
- Combine the chicken, veggies, seasonings, garlic, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the chicken and vegetables in the seasoning mix.
- Arrange the chicken and vegetables in an even layer on a rimmed sheet pan that’s been greased or lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, and be sure to check the chicken for doneness, as oven temperatures may vary.
Prep Tips
- Chicken – We used chicken breast for this dish. You can either cut into strips or dice the chicken, depending on your preference. Always check the chicken for doneness before serving. The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken breast is 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA.
- Serve with – This is a fun recipe to make a build-your-own fajita bar and serve with traditional accompaniments and your favorite toppings. Try serving with flour tortillas and/or corn tortillas, Mexican rice, sliced avocado or guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, shredded cheese, and limes.
- Storage – Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
How To Reheat Fajitas
1. Skillet
This is the best way of reheating to preserve the crispness of the veggies and keep the chicken juicy. To do so, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small splash of oil. Add the fajita mixture and stir occasionally until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten up the flavors.
2. Oven
Using the oven takes a little bit longer, but will also reheat the fajitas evenly, without drying them out. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Spread the fajitas evenly on a prepared baking sheet, covering with foil to retain moisture. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until hot.
3. Microwave
This is the fastest way to reheat leftover fajitas, though it is important to take care not to overcook or the veggies may get soggy. Start by placing the fajitas on a microwave-safe plate, covering with a damp paper towel. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring or flipping between each, until hot.
