Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or cotija cheese)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
In a bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.
In the same skillet, add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro until well combined.
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In serving bowls, layer the rice at the bottom, followed by the grilled corn and sliced chicken.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and drizzle with the cilantro dressing.
Serve the bowls with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
