Can I use frozen chicken?

Technically yes, but I don't recommend it. Frozen chicken releases too much water and makes everything soggy. If you're in a pinch, thaw it completely first and pat it super dry with paper towels.

How spicy is the fajita seasoning?

Store-bought mixes are usually mild-medium (think Taco Tuesday level). Want more heat? Add 1/2 tsp chili powder or cayenne to the mix. My kids prefer it mild, so I serve hot sauce on the side for spice lovers. For more information on food safety temperatures, check out resources from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Can I make vegetarian sheet pan fajitas?

Absolutely, Swap the chicken for portobello mushrooms or extra firm tofu (press it first). Black beans work great too - just add them in the last 5 minutes so they don't dry out.

Why are my veggies soggy?

You might be overcrowding the pan. Spread everything in a single layer so the heat circulates properly. Also, slice veggies evenly - thin pieces cook faster than thick ones.

Can I prep this ahead?

Yes, Chop everything the night before and store chicken/veggies separately in the fridge. The seasoning might make the veggies weep a bit, but it still works great.
