Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas Recipe
Quick and easy baked chicken fajitas solve the cleanup problems of stovetop preparation with packaged taco seasoning, offering oven methods that dramatically reduce dish washing and mess. This convenient approach maintains authentic fajita flavors while eliminating the constant stirring and multiple pan cleanup that makes stovetop versions labor-intensive. The baked method proves that convenience doesn't require compromising taste while significantly reducing kitchen cleanup time.
I’ve been making chicken fajitas on the stove with packaged taco seasoning for years but always had so much clean up afterwards. This was not only better tasting, but also easier to clean up and way more satisfying! Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Taco sauce optional.

Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 teaspoon garlic granules, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes for chili
1 large onion, cut in strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips, or to taste
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips, or to taste
½ (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles
½ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the bottom of a 10×14 glass dish. Add chicken strips.
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic granules, chili powder, oregano, and cumin in a small bowl. Rub mixture over the chicken. Add tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and green chiles. Mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
