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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby bell peppers (12 to 15 peppers), halved, stemmed and seeded
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
Juice of 1 lime, plus lime wedges, for serving
8 fajita-size flour tortillas, warmed
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Combine the chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss in a large bowl with the remaining chile powder mixture and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • After the peppers are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, scatter the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken is cooked through and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with the lime juice.
  • Serve with the warmed tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.
