Instructions
Creating your own Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t done so yet, cook your rice according to packet instructions. Set aside when done.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix sliced chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Street Corn Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the fresh corn, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, and crumbled cotija cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice at the bottom. Top with a generous helping of the cooked chicken.
6. Add the Street Corn: Divide the street corn mixture on top of the chicken evenly among the bowls.
7. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is ready to be enjoyed!
