Creating a Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season both sides with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Shred the Chicken: Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or chop into bite-sized pieces.
4. Prepare the Corn Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth.
5. Mix in Corn: Add the cooked corn to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until all corn is coated.
6. Assemble the Bowl: Begin with a base of cooked rice. Top with shredded chicken and the corn mixture.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle queso fresco or feta over the bowl, and add chopped cilantro. Place sliced radishes and avocado on top if desired.
8. Serve: Drizzle additional lime juice over the completed bowls and serve immediately.
