  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 avocado, diced
– 1 lime, juiced
– ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
– Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
– Optional: sliced jalapeños for spice


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!
