Description
A vibrant and satisfying bowl featuring tender seasoned chicken, zesty charred corn, creamy avocado, and fluffy rice, inspired by the flavors of Mexican street corn.
Ingredients
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, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: In a pot, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
Step 2: While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add the drained corn and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly charred. Add lime juice and mix well.
Step 5: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice, sliced chicken, sautéed corn, and diced avocado.
Step 6: Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and fresh cilantro.
Step 7: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your delicious street corn chicken rice bowl!
Notes
For best results, allow chicken to rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Fresh corn can be grilled or roasted before sautéing for extra flavor.
