Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for juicier meat)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (preferably halal-certified, no alcohol or pork)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Ingredient Highlights
- Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best cuts for this recipe because they cook evenly and absorb the BBQ flavor well.
- BBQ Sauce: Choose a halal-certified BBQ sauce that doesn’t contain any alcohol or pork. The sauce adds a rich, smoky-sweet flavor to the dish.
- Vegetables: Red onion, bell peppers, baby potatoes, and corn provide a variety of textures and flavors that complement the chicken perfectly.
- Olive Oil and Spices: Olive oil ensures the vegetables cook evenly, while the garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and seasoning bring depth to the flavor.
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season them generously with the spice mixture.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the red onion and bell pepper. Halve the baby potatoes, and if using frozen corn, make sure it’s thawed. Arrange the vegetables around the edges of the sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the chicken.
Add BBQ Sauce to Chicken:
- Coat with BBQ Sauce: Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. You can also add extra sauce later if desired for a stronger flavor.
Arrange on Sheet Pan:
- Place the Chicken on the Sheet Pan: Lay the BBQ-coated chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan. Surround the chicken with the prepared vegetables, spreading them evenly across the pan.
Bake the Dish:
- Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender. If you’d like a slightly crispy chicken, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish and Serve: Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
