Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Rub the seasoning mix onto both sides of the chicken breasts.

  3. Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).

  5. Remove from heat, squeeze lime juice over the chicken, and let it rest before slicing.

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

  1. Rinse the rice under cold running water until it becomes clear.

  2. In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, and butter to a boil.

  3. Stir in the rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender.

  4. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Street Corn Topping

  1. If using fresh corn, grill or sauté it for a slightly charred flavor.

  2. In a bowl, combine corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice.

  3. Stir in crumbled cheese and fresh cilantro.

  4. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

  1. Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls.

  2. Top with sliced chicken.

  3. Spread the creamy street corn mixture over the chicken.

  4. Add desired garnishes like avocado, jalapeños, or extra lime juice.

  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Grill the Chicken – Adds extra smoky flavor.
  • Use Fresh Corn – For a more authentic taste, grill the corn before mixing.
  • Adjust Spice Levels – Add more chili powder or jalapeños for heat.
  • Meal Prep Friendly – Store ingredients separately and assemble fresh for the best texture.
