Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare a sheet pan by placing it empty on the counter.

Cut 6 ears of corn into quarters and place them on the sheet pan.

Add 1 pound of mini sweet peppers to the sheet pan, optionally cutting them in half and removing seeds.

Sprinkle fresh thyme over the corn and peppers.

Drizzle a healthy amount of olive oil over the vegetables.

Sprinkle cajun seasoning generously over the vegetables, about a teaspoon per pan.

Spread out the veggies to make space for the chicken.

Add 6 pieces of boneless skinless chicken breast to the pan, placing them among the vegetables.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle with cajun seasoning, flipping to coat both sides.

Place the sheet pan in the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until everything is cooked through.

Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle hot sauce over the veggies and chicken, tossing to coat.

Plate the dish, optionally serving on a large platter for family style.
