# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly.
03 - Place the marinated chicken on one side of the prepared sheet pan. On the opposite side, spread sliced bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn kernels evenly. Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
04 - Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with slight charring.
05 - While the chicken and vegetables roast, prepare desired rice and arrange toppings like shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with roasted chicken, vegetables, black beans, and corn. Add toppings as desired and serve with tortilla chips or warm tortillas if preferred.
