Instructions
Creating your Street Corn Chicken Bowl can be done seamlessly by following these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat them evenly.
2. Cook the Chicken: Grill or sauté the chicken on medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Prepare the Corn: While the chicken is cooking, heat the corn in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. If using canned corn, drain and rinse before heating.
4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and half of the cotija cheese. Mix well and add salt to taste.
5. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
6. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, add a base of cooked rice or quinoa. Layer it with sliced chicken and heated corn.
7. Add the Dressing: Drizzle the creamy dressing generously over the chicken and corn.
8. Garnish: Top with the remaining cotija cheese and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the bowl. Add lime wedges on the side.
9. Serve Immediately: Your Street Corn Chicken Bowl is now ready to enjoy!
