1

In a bowl, toss cubed boneless chicken thighs with fajita seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix until the chicken changes color from the spices.

Oven-roast the vegetables at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes.

Consejo: Pre-roasting the veg before adding chicken ensures both cook evenly — veg need more time than chicken cubes.

Remove the pan from the oven. Spread the seasoned chicken cubes over the roasted vegetables. Spray with cooking spray. Bake at 200°C for another 25 minutes until the chicken is crispy and golden brown.

Cultural Context

Fajitas originated in the ranches of West Texas and northern Mexico, traditionally made with skirt steak grilled over open fire. The dish evolved into a Tex-Mex staple and eventually a popular meal-prep format in fitness communities. This sheet-pan adaptation by Jalalsamfit uses chicken thighs for higher protein and lower fat, making it accessible for batch cooking while keeping the bold fajita flavor profile with sautéed peppers, onions, and spice blends.
