  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– ½ cup mayonnaise
– ¼ cup sour cream
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese or feta cheese
– ¼ cup chopped cilantro
– Lime wedges (for serving)
– Jalapeños (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

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

1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once finished.

2. Prep the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This step helps with searing.

3. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture over the chicken pieces evenly.

4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan and let it rest.

5. Prepare the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to char slightly.

6. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust flavor as desired.

7. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the rice, followed by the charred corn.

8. Add Toppings: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken and corn. Sprinkle crumbled cheese, chopped cilantro, and any desired garnishes like jalapeños or extra lime juice.

9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl fresh and warm!
