Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
1/4 cup cotija cheese or feta, crumbled
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Sliced avocado or guacamole (optional)
Diced tomatoes (optional)
Sliced jalapeños (optional)
Extra crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
Additional lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F). Let rest before slicing.
Prepare the street corn by mixing warm corn kernels with mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika (if using), and crumbled cheese.
Toss cooked rice with lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Assemble bowls by layering cilantro-lime rice, sliced grilled chicken, and street corn mixture. Add optional toppings as desired.
