Print Recipe

A flavorful and nutrient-rich bowl featuring juicy seasoned chicken, creamy street corn with cotija cheese, and fluffy rice, topped with fresh cilantro and lime for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups grilled or frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Optional: extra sour cream and Tajín or chili powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 8-10 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest, then slice.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine grilled corn, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, chili powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.
  4. Reheat cooked jasmine rice with a splash of water until warm and fluffy.
  5. Assemble bowls by placing rice as the base, topping with sliced chicken, a generous scoop of street corn mixture, extra Cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve with lime wedges and optionally drizzle extra sour cream and sprinkle Tajín or chili powder on top.
  7. Serve warm and squeeze fresh lime over the bowl before eating.

Notes

For a quick shortcut, use frozen sweet corn sautéed until warm instead of grilled corn. Jasmine rice works best for fluffiness, but brown rice or quinoa can be used for variation. Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer (165°F).
