Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups corn kernels
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, sliced thin (optional)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Rub chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Grill or pan-cook chicken over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side. Rest, then slice into cubes.
3. Heat a skillet with olive oil, add corn, and sauté until slightly charred.
4. Add diced bell pepper and sliced jalapeño to the corn. Cook 2–3 minutes. Toss with lime juice and chopped cilantro.
5. Cook rice according to package directions. Fluff with fork and keep warm.
6. Mix Greek yogurt or sour cream with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and cilantro to make the creamy sauce.
7. Assemble bowls: add rice, sliced chicken, street corn mix, and drizzle sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro.
Notes
Let the chicken rest after cooking to retain its juices.
Charring the corn adds a smoky sweetness that elevates the bowl.
Add sauce just before serving to keep everything fresh.
