Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. Ensure it’s fluffy and tender before serving.
3. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill it for a few minutes until slightly charred. If using canned corn, simply heat it in a skillet until warmed through.
4. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
5. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly for easy serving.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Layer the sliced chicken on top, followed by the roasted corn.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle diced avocado, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro over the bowls. Drizzle with lime juice for that zesty kick.
8. Serve Immediately: These bowls are best enjoyed fresh, so gather everyone around the table to enjoy your creation!
