Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Add rice and half the garlic salt to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add zucchini and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 12-14 min.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add chicken, Jerk Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to another parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer. Roast in the top of the oven, 8 min. Carefully remove from the oven, then dollop jerk sauce over chicken. Return to the top of the oven and continue to roast until cooked through, 4-6 min.**
Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions, peppers and corn.
