Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the corn kernels. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly charred.
  4. While the corn cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
  6. Top the rice with the cooked chicken and the seasoned corn.
  7. Drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken and corn.
  8. Garnish each bowl with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, grill the chicken instead of pan-searing.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store the sauce separately and combine just before eating.
