Instructions
Cooking the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is a delightful experience. Follow these easy steps to create your own masterpiece:
1. Cook the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.
3. Add Corn: Once the chicken is cooked, add the frozen corn (or fresh corn) directly into the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through.
4. Combine with Rice: Fold in the cooked rice, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly. Allow everything to cook together for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
5. Add Flavor: Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze lime juice over the chicken and rice mixture. Add in the crumbled cotija cheese and mix until thoroughly combined.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if necessary.
7. Serve: Divide the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and extra flavor.
