Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (or cotija cheese)
1 ripe avocado, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges for serving
Optional: hot sauce for extra kick
Instructions
Prepare your rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
In a bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the chicken.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper.
Once rested, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice, sliced chicken, and sautéed corn.
Top with crumbled feta cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowl for added brightness. Add hot sauce if desired.
