Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 cup grilled corn kernels fresh or canned, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese or feta
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  2. Make the Corn Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, half of the cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro. Stir until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top each with sliced chicken followed by a generous scoop of the corn mixture.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining cotija cheese on top and add more cilantro if desired. Serve with a lime wedge for a fresh burst of flavor.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl while it’s warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Grill the Corn for Extra Flavor: If using fresh corn, grilling it enhances the smoky flavor that complements the chicken.
  • Customize the Toppings: Feel free to add toppings like avocado slices, jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra kick.
  • Make It Spicy: Adjust the chili powder according to your spice preference. Add more for a spicier dish.
