Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese or feta
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare your rice according to package instructions; set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Corn Mixture: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then sauté corn and diced onion until lightly charred. Add minced garlic near the end to avoid burning.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Mix the cooked rice with the sautéed corn mixture and lime juice in a large bowl.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the rice mixture into serving bowls, topping each with sliced chicken, yogurt, avocado, cheese, and cilantro.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
