# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil to facilitate 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 to coat evenly.
03 - Place the marinated chicken on one side of the sheet pan. Evenly distribute bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn on the other side. Lightly drizzle vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through. Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender with slight charring.
05 - While roasting, prepare cooked rice and desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, cilantro, and lime wedges.
06 - Divide rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with roasted chicken, vegetables, black beans, corn, and preferred toppings. Serve with tortilla chips or warm tortillas if desired.
