Instructions
Creating the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.
3. Cook the Chicken: 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.
4. Grill the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro until well combined.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
7. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the rice at the bottom, followed by the grilled corn and sliced chicken.
8. Top with Cheese and Dressing: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and drizzle with the cilantro dressing.
9. Garnish and Serve: Serve the bowls with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
