Instructions
Creating the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine diced chicken, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is well coated.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Prepare the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. If using fresh corn, allow it to char slightly for added flavor.
6. Make the Crema: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lime juice, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until smooth.
7. Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, layer cooked rice, followed by the sautéed chicken and corn.
8. Add Toppings: Drizzle the crema over the top, then sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
9. Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest and flavor.
