Description

A flavorful and satisfying bowl combining juicy seasoned chicken, charred street-style corn, and fresh toppings over rice with a creamy, tangy sauce.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 400 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (for corn)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
  3. In another pan, cook the corn over medium-high heat until slightly charred, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mix the cooked corn with mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and salt until well combined.
  5. Assemble bowls by adding rice as the base, then sliced chicken and street corn mixture.
  6. Top with avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Frozen corn works well—just char it properly for best flavor.
  • Customize with black beans, jalapeños, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Store components separately for best freshness.
  • Add toppings fresh after reheating for best texture.
