Description

A vibrant and satisfying bowl featuring tender seasoned chicken, sweet and smoky corn, creamy avocado, and a zesty lime finish over fluffy rice.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
1 can (15 oz) corn, drained (or 2 cups fresh corn)
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Lime wedges for serving
Extra cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Cook the rice according to the package directions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: While the rice is cooking, prepare your chicken. Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously on all sides with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through and has a beautiful golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips or cubes.
Step 4: Using the same skillet, add the drained corn. Sauté the corn for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to heat through and get slightly charred, which enhances its natural sweetness. Stir in the fresh lime juice.
Step 5: Now it’s time to assemble your bowls! Divide the cooked rice evenly among your serving bowls. Arrange the sliced chicken, sautéed corn, and diced avocado artfully over the rice.
Step 6: Finish your bowls by sprinkling with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and a generous amount of fresh chopped cilantro.
Step 7: Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for an added burst of fresh flavor. Enjoy your homemade, healthy, and incredibly delicious Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning or drizzle with sriracha mayo. This dish is excellent for meal prepping; store components separately and add avocado just before serving.
