Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
Instructions
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While chicken cooks, grill or sauté corn kernels until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice to make the lime crema.
To assemble, divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with sliced chicken, charred corn, cotija cheese, and drizzle with lime crema. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the bowl.
Can substitute cotija cheese with feta cheese if unavailable.
Feel free to use quinoa or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
