Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dry brown rice
  • 2 cups water or broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for rice)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for corn)
  • Fresh or frozen corn (kernels from about 2 ears or 1 cup frozen)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice of half a lime (about 1–2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Pinch of chili powder (for corn)
  • Red onion (thinly sliced)
  • Bell peppers (diced)
  • Avocado (sliced or diced)

Instructions

  1. Cook the brown rice according to package directions with water or broth, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until tender.
  2. Prepare the chicken by slicing it into 1/2-inch thick cutlets or bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
  4. Char the corn by adding olive oil and corn to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until some kernels are charred. Transfer to a bowl and mix with Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Prep the toppings by slicing red onion, dicing bell peppers, and slicing or dicing avocado.
  6. Assemble the bowls by dividing the rice among serving bowls. Top with the chicken and corn mixture, and artfully arrange the fresh toppings. Sprinkle with more cilantro before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave until warm.
