The chicken is then tossed with a medley of colorful bell peppers, jalapenos, garlic and onions, and baked until they’re slightly charred and caramelized, adding a sweet and savory depth to the dish. Served on warm tortillas and topped with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh guacamole, these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas offer a mouthwatering fusion of flavors that are as satisfying as they are irresistible.
