Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add diced chicken and toss to coat. Marinate 15–30 minutes in the fridge.

2. Char corn in 1 tbsp olive oil for 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a bowl, mix charred corn, mayo, sour cream, cheese, chili powder, lime juice, and cilantro. Set aside.

3. Heat skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F/74°C). Let rest.

4. Toss cooked rice with butter, lime juice, and cilantro. Add salt to taste.

5. Assemble bowls: Add rice, chicken, street corn topping, and optional toppings like avocado or hot sauce.

Notes

Customize with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, shredded lettuce, or black beans.

For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.

Meal prep-friendly: store chicken, rice, and corn separately and assemble before serving.
