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: Start by cooking the brown rice according to package directions, using water or broth, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes until tender.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice cooks, slice the chicken 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. Sauté the Chicken: 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.
  4. Char the Corn: In the same skillet, add olive oil and corn. Cook for 5-7 minutes until some kernels are nicely charred.
  5. Make the Corn Mixture: Transfer the charred corn to a bowl and mix with Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Prepare Toppings: Slice red onion, dice bell peppers, and slice or dice avocado.
  7. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice evenly among serving bowls. Top with the chicken slices and generous spoonfuls of the street corn mixture. Arrange fresh toppings over the top.
