# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add chicken pieces and toss until fully coated.
03 - Place marinated chicken on one side of the sheet pan. Spread bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn evenly on the other side. Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
04 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through. Continue until chicken registers 165°F internally and vegetables are tender with slight charring.
05 - While roasting, cook rice of choice and prepare desired toppings including shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, cilantro, and lime wedges.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with roasted chicken, vegetables, black beans, and corn. Add lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges as preferred. Serve with tortilla chips or warm tortillas if desired.
