Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 lb. boneless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– ¼ cup mayonnaise
– ¼ cup sour cream
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

To craft your own Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl, follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and then coat the chicken thighs or breasts in this mixture.
3. Grill or Sauté Chicken: Grill the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Alternatively, sauté in a skillet for similar results. Once cooked, allow it to rest before slicing.
4. Cook the Corn: In the same pan used for the chicken, add the corn and cook for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. If using frozen corn, ensure it’s heated through.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Start by layering the cooked rice in a bowl. Add slices of grilled chicken on top, followed by a generous scoop of the cooked corn.
7. Add Toppings: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken and corn. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro generously across the top.
8. Finish with Avocado: If desired, add slices of avocado for extra creaminess.
9. Serve with Lime Wedges: Pair with lime wedges for those who want that extra zesty kick.

Following these straightforward steps will yield a satisfying and delicious Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl that impresses everyone!
