Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or feta)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, black beans, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  3. Char corn in a skillet or roast until lightly browned. In a bowl, mix with mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of chili powder.
  4. Build bowls by layering cooked rice as the base, then topping with sliced chicken and the street corn mixture.
  5. Add any desired toppings like avocado, black beans, or hot sauce.
  6. Serve with extra lime juice or cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a faster version—just season after shredding.
  • Feta or parmesan can substitute for Cotija cheese.
  • Make it vegetarian with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
  • Store components separately for best texture when reheating.
