Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. Drain corn; pat dry with paper towels. • Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 14-16 minutes. • In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce and mayonnaise. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and corn in a single layer; season with Ranch Spice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and corn is browned, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice and zucchini between shallow bowls in separate sections. Top rice with chicken and corn; drizzle with as much sauce as you like. Serve with any remaining sauce on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was the 'bomb' flavor wise with the ranch seasoning; my partner is not a rice person so mixed meal plan up by serving over cheesy macaroni - in our opinion this made it even better!!
The corn to chicken ratio was a little off. Next time I would use 2/3 or maybe just 1/2 half the can.
If I get this again I would use less corn. The sauce made the dish though- it was delicious
Doubled the BBQ/Mayo Sauce and made turmeric rice with garlic.
Loved the simplicity of the meal and the flavors. I was so sad I dropped my dish at work.
This was a delicious surprise! So flavorful and sauce made it perfect!
This was very good but having zucchini on the side was a little bizarre.
Really liked it. Would like it with other vegetable option
The BBQ sauce took over all the other flavors - change the title of the dish - couldn't taste the ranch nor the spice as the BBQ sauce was sweet.
Yes please and the dark meat chicken in this one is fire so good.
