Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl Flavorful and Easy Meal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 half teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 half teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 half cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 quarter cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- to taste lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the corn. If using fresh corn, grill or sauté the kernels in a separate skillet until they are slightly charred. For frozen corn, cook in a pan until heated through.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and lime juice to create a tangy sauce.
- Once the chicken is cooked and the corn is ready, assemble the rice bowls: start with a base of jasmine rice in each bowl.
- Top the rice with the cooked chicken, followed by the corn. Drizzle the lime mayonnaise over the top.
- Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro on top of each bowl.
- Add slices of avocado and garnish with lime wedges on the side.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the bowls with a vibrant sprinkle of fresh cilantro and arrange the avocado slices neatly for an appealing look. A squeeze of lime over the top just before serving enhances both flavor and presentation.
