Easy Skillet BBQ Chicken Bake

This skillet bake features marinated grilled chicken pieces browned with fresh bell peppers and corn, all coated in a tangy BBQ sauce. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups bell peppers, diced (any colors)
1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
1 cup BBQ sauce of choice
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell peppers and corn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.

Combine with BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring until everything is well coated. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
