Print Recipe

This Chicken Rice Bowl with Street Corn is a vibrant and flavorful dish combining tender grilled chicken, zesty street-style corn, and fluffy rice for a satisfying and easy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 ears corn, husked
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest.
  4. While the chicken cooks, grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, cotija cheese, cilantro, and cayenne pepper. Stir to create the street corn sauce.
  6. Brush the mayonnaise mixture over the grilled corn evenly.
  7. Slice the rested chicken into strips.
  8. To assemble the bowl, divide cooked rice into two bowls. Top each with sliced chicken and a grilled ear of street corn.
  9. Squeeze extra lime wedges over the bowl before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream to your bowl. Leftover chicken and corn make great meal prep options.
