Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
  • Lime wedges (optional garnish)
  • Sliced green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and drizzle with olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to make BBQ sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place on one side of the sheet pan. Spoon half the BBQ sauce over the chicken and spread evenly. Reserve remaining sauce.
  4. In a large bowl, toss corn kernels, black beans, diced red bell pepper, and sliced red onion with olive oil, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Spread veggie mixture on the other half of the sheet pan or around the chicken in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Check chicken temperature (should be about 140°F). Toss veggies if browning too much.
  6. Brush remaining BBQ sauce over chicken and stir veggies. Return to oven and roast another 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and veggies are caramelized. Broil for 2 minutes at the end for crispy edges, if desired.
  7. Let chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges if desired. Serve hot, family-style.

Notes

Spread ingredients in a single layer for best roasting. Use a meat thermometer for juicy chicken. Glaze chicken twice for caramelization. Toss veggies halfway through baking. Broil at the end for crispy edges. For gluten-free, check BBQ sauce ingredients. Recipe is flexible—swap veggies or beans as desired.
