Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2-3 bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1 small Jalapeño pepper seedless and sliced

Wet Rub:

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon tajin optional
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt I like to use kosher salt
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • First, in a small mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, salt, tajin (optional), and oil. This creates a delicious wet rub. Set aside.
  • Then, cut the chicken and vegetables into small pieces that are easy to eat. I like mine a little bit bigger than average. Add salt and pepper to the veggies and set aside.
  • Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet and season with the wet rub.
  • Spread them out evenly on the baking sheet and put them in the oven for 15 minutes at 450°F.

While the chicken is in the oven, let’s prepare the dressing and some toppings.

  • Then, chop the chicken and vegetables into manageable-sized pieces. I prefer mine to be a little bit larger than usual. Add salt and pepper to the veggies and set aside.
  • Take the sheet pan out of the oven and spread the vegetables out with the chicken, and return to the oven to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. After, you’ll have a tasty dinner.

Notes

I made this Creamy Greek Yogurt and Dill Dressing that tastes amazing. I also chopped some white and purple cabbage, and got myself some Homemade pico de gallo and some tortillas. If you’re not a fan of tortillas, the chicken fajitas can be served in a lettuce wrap, or a bowl with Fluffy white rice or Cilantro rice instead.
