Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- For serving: tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, guacamole, etc. optional, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. I use a baker's half sheet, but a full-size sheet will work too if you want everything spread out a bit more for better browning.
- Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt & pepper to a small bowl and mix together.
- Place the chicken breasts and veggies onto the baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over top. Toss until everything is nicely coated in the oil, and then sprinkle the spice mixture on top and use your hands to rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the chicken and the veggies.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes (25 minutes for larger pieces of chicken) or until the chicken breasts are cooked (165F) and the veggies are tender.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into strips, and then serve as desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 4-6 as once you cut the chicken up and serve it with tortillas and toppings, not everyone will need to eat a whole chicken breast.
- This fajitas recipe is also in chapter 6 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
