Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup long-grain rice

2 ears of corn, husked

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice under cold water. Cook according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. Grill the corn: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning until charred. Remove and let cool before cutting the kernels off the cob.
  4. Grill the chicken: Grill the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest and slice into strips.
  5. Prepare the corn mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels with mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, and lime juice. Mix well and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Add a scoop of rice to each bowl, top with grilled chicken slices, then spoon over the street corn mixture. Add optional toppings as desired.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with tofu, black beans, or roasted vegetables.
  • To make the dish dairy-free, use dairy-free mayonnaise, sour cream, and cheese alternatives.
  • Frozen corn can be used instead of fresh corn. Just thaw and sauté it before mixing.
  • Adjust the spiciness by modifying the amount of chili powder and hot sauce.
