Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas recipe

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 yellow onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1 Tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp oil of choice
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 8 flour tortillas

Garnish Options:

Diced onion, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Set a baking sheet in the oven to get nice and hot. Slice up your chicken and vegetables. Add it to a bowl.

Add seasoning, oil, and lime juice. Mix it together and spread out onto baking sheet. 

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until chicken is 165 degrees internal. 

While that bakes, heat a skillet to med-high. Place tortillas in pan for 30 seconds per side. Place on a plate covered with a damp towel to keep warm.

Form tacos with desired toppings. 

*Save half of the chicken and vegetables for the Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe

  • 1 yellow onion, sliced*
  • 1 bell pepper, deseeded and sliced*
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups milk
  • 15 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 10.5 oz can condensed cheddar soup
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced*
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Garnish options:

Shredded cheese, lime juice, scallions, crispy tortilla strips

*If you're using leftover vegetables and chicken, no need to saute the onions and peppers first. Just warm them in the melted butter.

Preheat a pot to medium heat. Add butter and vegetables. Saute for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add flour and mix. 

Saute for 2 minutes, then add the chicken bouillon, water, milk, tomatoes, cheddar soup, cumin and paprika.

**If you want a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to pulverize it before adding the cheese and chicken. 

 Bring to a boil and add the chicken. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes then take off the heat. 

Add the Velveeta cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly. Taste for seasoning to see if you would like more salt or pepper. 

Garnish with toppings that you like and enjoy!

  3. Place the salmon on the prepared pan and season with remaining salt and pepper.

  4. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top of each fillet.
