Instructions
Creating a Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breasts into strips. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook the Rice: Prepare the cooked rice according to the package instructions if not using pre-cooked rice.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.
4. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill or sauté it in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred. If using frozen or canned, simply heat through.
5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise (if using), lime juice, and lime zest. Stir until smooth.
6. Assemble the Bowl: Begin with a base of rice in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken, corn, crumbled queso fresco, and a drizzle of the sauce.
7. Add Fresh Toppings: Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top and garnish with sliced jalapeños if desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your flavorful Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl while it’s warm!
