Spread the chicken onto the sheet pan.

We love making our own fajita seasoning.
If you are like us and use a ton of fajita seasoning, stop buying those packets and make your own.
My family used to buy them but we finally started making our own at home. The cost of these packets can add up over time and really you are paying for convenience in a package.
I think it is so much better to make your own so you know everything that is in it. You won’t find any hard to pronounce ingredients in this homemade version.
It is so easy and the seasoning works great in recipes. It is so easy and has tons of flavor.

This cooking method worked out really well. I normally use a George Foreman grill for fajitas, but not anymore! I used a fajita marinade recipe rather than fajita spice. Added the garlic and substituted parsley for cilantro. Chicken turned out moist and delicious. I used 2 sheet pans.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Does everything go on one sheet? Sounds like two sheets?
My family and I love fajitas so I usually make them every week lol. I love this recipe because most ingredients I already normally have on hand so it makes it very affordable and easy. Although I always make my own fajita seasoning. Plus it tastes so good and takes less than 30 minutes to make!
I love chicken fajitas. They are super easy to cook and everyone loves them.
