Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the glaze.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and sear them for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 3: Brush each chicken breast generously with the maple glaze, then transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 4: While the chicken roasts, toss 1 cup frozen corn kernels and 1 cup drained black beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes until the corn is slightly charred.
Step 5: Remove the roasted corn and beans from the oven, drizzle with 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve alongside the maple-glazed chicken.
