To make this sheet pan chicken fajita bowls recipe:

Add the sliced peppers to one side of the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix to make sure that the seasoning is over all of the peppers.
Repeat process with the red onion slices. Place cookie sheet in the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
When the chicken and peppers are finished cooking, create your bowl. Add 1/4 cup cooked rice, 3 slices of chicken, peppers and onions. Top with black beans, corn and more salsa, if desired. Serve immediately.
