Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2 medium chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)

Rice:

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

Corn Mixture:

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1/4 cup Cotija cheese or feta (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside and keep warm.
  2. Season and Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. Prepare the Corn Mixture: In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the corn and red onion, sautéing until lightly charred and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed corn, and onion mixture. Add the juice of 1 lime and toss to combine.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, avocado, Greek yogurt, and crumbled Cotija or feta cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with extra lime wedges for squeezing. Enjoy this healthy and flavorful meal!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with black beans or grilled tofu.
  • To add extra spice, include sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
