How to Make It

First you’ll want to do the prep work. This is a great time to get those kid friendly scissors out for kids to have some fun! Remember they’re more willing to eat food if they helped make it!

Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch strips. This should be done by an adult since it’s raw. Then cut up the vegetables.

Set aside, and now you’ll want to make the marinade. In a separate small bowl, mix together all ingredients for the marinade. Add around 1 ½ tsp

of salt, use more later if need to.

Bowl of mixed ingredients, seasonings, and oil and bell peppers on side

Mix it up and it should look like this.

Next, pour the marinade into the chicken and veggies, toss together and let them marinade in the fridge for 1 hour – if you’re eating this do not skip! It makes it taste so good.

Make sure the marinade is fully coating the chicken.

While it’s marinating in the fridge, preheat oven to 400F. After an hour or two, spread all the contents evenly on a sheet pan lined with foil, make sure the chicken is not

overlapped with the vegetables, so that it will be fully cooked.

Place the sheet in the oven. Let it cook in the oven for 15 minutes, take the tray out and give the ingredients a mix, then

spread it evenly again. Place the tray back to cooking.

Here’s a pro tip for you:

Name: Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 2 lb Chicken breast (boneless, skinless); 1 Onion (sliced); 1 Red bell pepper (sliced); 1 Green bell pepper (sliced); 1 Yellow bell pepper (sliced); 1 Orange bell pepper (sliced ); 1/2 lb. Mushroom (sliced); 1/2 c. Olive Oil (extra virgin); 3 cloves garlic (minced); 2 tsp. cumin powder; 2 tsp. paprika powder; 1 tsp. coriander powder; Salt (as needed); 1 tsp. Black pepper; Limes; Cilantro; Tortillas

Use an oven safe thermometer. It’s easy to over cook chicken, using a thermometer to check if it’s reached 165F is the best way not to overcook chicken. All ovens are different, so it’s best to use this.

Check again in 15 minutes. Depending on your oven it could only take 20 minutes total. Cut the biggest strip of chicken open to make sure that it is

cooked. Cooking time would vary depends on the sizes of the cuts. Vegetables should be golden or slightly charred on the corners.

Cook’s Tips:
