  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– ½ cup red onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 lime, juiced
– Optional: sliced jalapeños for added spice


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl:

1. Cook the Rice: If not using pre-cooked rice, cook 2 cups of white or brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs or breasts with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the spices coat the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.

3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

5. Add the Corn: Stir in the corn kernels and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

6. Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and corn. Pour in the lime juice and stir everything together to combine and heat evenly.

7. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, place a generous amount of cooked rice as the base. Top with the chicken and corn mixture.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro over the top. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for a kick of heat.
