Method

  1. Heat the oven to 400F and line a large baking tray. Stir together all the rub spices in a small bowl.

  2. Spread the chicken strips, peppers, and onion over the tray, drizzle with the olive oil, and scatter over the rub. Toss with your hands until everything's coated, then spread into a single layer.

    💡 Tip: A single layer is the whole game with sheet-pan cooking. Crowded veg steams; spread-out veg chars.
  3. Roast for 15 minutes, then pull the tray, toss everything, and stir in the drained black beans. Return for another 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken's cooked and the edges are catching.

    💡 Tip: Adding the beans partway through means they warm and crisp slightly without drying out.
  4. Squeeze the lime over the hot tray and serve, in wraps, over rice, or in a bowl with your favourite toppings.

Notes

Cut the chicken and veg to a similar size so everything finishes cooking together.
Give the tray room. Pile it too high and the veg steams and goes soft instead of catching those tasty charred edges. Use two trays if you're doubling up.
The black beans add fibre and a bit of plant protein, and they crisp slightly at the edges in the oven, which is a good thing.
Finish with lime the second it comes out. It wakes up the whole tray. Then portion for up to 4 days of lunches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs?

Yes. Thighs stay tender and are usually cheaper, they just need a few more minutes. Slice them the same thickness as you would the breast so they keep pace with the veg.

How do I build this into a meal-prep bowl?

Portion the roasted chicken, veg, and beans over rice or cauliflower rice. Keep wet toppings like salsa and yogurt separate and add them fresh when you eat so nothing goes soggy.

What are the best macro-friendly toppings?

Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt, and load up on salsa, fresh coriander, and lime. A little guacamole is fine too, just count the fat.
