A flavorful bowl combining grilled chicken, charred corn, creamy goodness, and zesty lime for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lime
  • â…“ cup cotija cheese
  • ½ cup black beans
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime zest from half the lime, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6–7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
  3. Char the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn kernels. Cook until lightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  4. Create the Creamy Corn Mixture: Stir in the mayonnaise, a squeeze from the remaining lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder into the charred corn.
  5. Warm the Black Beans: In a small pan or microwave, warm the black beans until heated through.
  6. Assemble Your Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among your bowls, top each with warmed black beans, sliced chicken, and the street corn mixture.
  7. Final Touches: Sprinkle cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over each bowl and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken with tofu or grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
