Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cooked rice
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup grilled corn (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients and tools, it’s time to transform simple components into an irresistible street corn chicken rice bowl that will excite your taste buds. Each step is designed to enhance flavors and textures, turning your kitchen into a vibrant culinary playground.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by taking your chicken breasts and patting them dry with a paper towel. This little step makes a big difference! Next, season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cumin for a smoky twist. Massage the seasonings into the chicken to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Set the seasoned chicken aside while you move on to the next steps.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken in the pan. Sear each side for about 5-7 minutes until they develop a lovely golden-brown crust. You’ll love the sound of the sizzle as you cook! Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help keep the juices sealed inside.

Step 3: Make the Street Corn Mixture

In the same pan, add some more olive oil if needed, then toss in the corn. The sweet kernels will pop and sizzle, bringing out their natural sweetness! Stir in some mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder to create a creamy and zesty topping that you won’t be able to resist. Cook for a few minutes until everything is warmed through and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Rice Bowl

Now comes the fun part—assembling your rice bowl! Place a generous scoop of fluffy rice at the bottom of your bowl. Layer the sliced chicken on top, followed by that vibrant street corn mixture. You can even sprinkle some crumbled cheese and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Finish off your masterpiece with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top. This zingy addition will bring everything together beautifully. Serve immediately and enjoy every scrumptious bite of your creation!

Notes

Tip 1: Cooking Chicken

Always ensure your chicken is cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe eating. Use a meat thermometer if needed!

Tip 2: Choosing Corn

Fresh corn is delightful, but frozen corn can be equally delicious in this recipe. Just make sure it’s thawed before cooking.

Tip 3: Customize Your Bowl

Feel free to add your favorite toppings—avocado, jalapeños, or even salsa! Personal touches make your meal more enjoyable.
