Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Sizzling-platter char from one hot sheet pan. 50g protein.
Restaurant fajitas get their char from a screaming-hot cast-iron platter; at home, you heat the sheet pan in the oven first so the peppers hit hot metal and blister instead of steaming. The chicken goes in later so it stays juicy, a 2-minute broil chars the tips, and a zippy lime crema does the job of sour cream.
