Frequently Asked Questions about 30 minute sheet pan chicken fajitas:
Yes you can absolutely use steak. Flank steak (Chuck) is my favourite for this.
You could use another cut of chicken although cook times would be different so I can not tell you how successful this would be.
If you refer to your user manual it will be able to give the best location. As a general rule in a convection oven this would go second from the top and in a conventional oven, it would cook best on the middle rack.
The cornstarch is there because it absorbs the liquid from the vegetables as they cook. If you omit the cornstarch this meal will be very liquidey and you might find yourself needing to drain the liquid from the pan before serving.
