Method
- Slice each breast in half horizontally so the pieces cook evenly. Whisk 1 tbsp of the oil, the juice of 2 limes, the garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika and 2½ tsp salt in a large bowl, add the chicken, and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours (the marinating time is not counted in the 50 minutes).
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the peppers and onion on a rimmed sheet pan with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and ½ tsp salt, and lay the chicken on a second lined sheet pan.
- Roast both pans 16 to 22 minutes (check the chicken at 16), until the peppers are charred at the edges and the thickest piece of chicken reads 165°F.
- While those roast, bring the rice, 2¼ cups water and 1 tsp salt to a boil in a covered saucepan, then cook on low 15 minutes. Leave it covered off the heat for 10 minutes, then fluff and stir in half the cilantro.
- Rest the chicken 10 minutes, slice it across the grain, and toss the slices in the juices left on the pan.
- Toss the beans and corn with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of the third lime, then stir the yogurt with the rest of that juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the rice, beans, corn, peppers and chicken among 6 containers, with the yogurt, salsa and remaining cilantro in small cups on the side.
- Cool the containers 15 minutes uncovered, then lid and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat 2 to 3 minutes in the microwave until steaming hot (165°F), then add the cold toppings.
