The sweet and spicy glaze in this recipe adds an addictive touch! If you want to make this recipe knife-free, use jarred roasted red bell pepper strips instead of the fresh. Fresh adds a nice bite of texture, but the jarred and roasted peppers add a charred kick.

The sweet and spicy glaze in this recipe adds an addictive touch! If you want to make this recipe knife-free, use jarred roasted red bell pepper strips instead of fresh ones. Fresh adds a nice bite of texture, but the jarred and roasted peppers add a charred kick.
- Preheat oven to 400*F. Lightly spray a sheet pan with cooking oil.
- Mix the sriracha, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and ground garlic in a large bowl until smooth.
- Toss the chicken in the sauce, then use tongs to transfer to one end of the sheet pan, leaving any remaining sauce in the bowl (you’ll use it later)
- Place the pan in the oven and bake 5-8 minutes, until the chicken has started to cook through.
- While the chicken is cooking, toss the diced bell pepper, corn kernels, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.
- When the 5-8 minutes is up, remove the pan from the oven and push the chicken to one end of the pan. Use tongs to gently toss with the remaining sauce.
- Transfer the pepper and corn salad on the other end of the sheet pan.
- Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, until the salad ingredients have begun to brown and the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from the oven and serve the chicken with the salad.
