  4. Transfer pan to oven and roast chicken until cooked through, about 16 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Cook corn salsa by heating a medium pan with olive oil and cooking corn with salt and pepper for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and heat until warmed.
  6. Blend roasted vegetables with cilantro, parsley, and remaining ingredients for the tomatillo sauce until smooth.
