Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Base

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 large avocado
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced

Cheese and Seasonings

  • ½ cup cotija or feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice
  • A pinch of chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the jasmine or basmati rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and tender. This foundational step sets the base for your bowl.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, then cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  3. Sauté the Corn: Using the same skillet, add the corn when the chicken is nearly done. Sauté for 3-5 minutes to develop a slightly smoky flavor and a pleasant crunch.
  4. Chop and Mix: Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then chop into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed corn, chopped chicken, chopped cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice, mixing gently to blend flavors.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Divide the mixture into serving bowls and top each with slices of creamy avocado and a generous sprinkle of cotija or feta cheese. Drizzle with the prepared dressing made from sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and seasoning.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, substitute cauliflower rice for jasmine rice.
  • Use tofu or turkey as a protein substitute if preferred.
  • Adjust chili powder quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh lime juice provides the best bright flavor but bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch.
  • For a vegan variant, replace chicken with tofu, use vegan cheese, and swap sour cream and mayo for vegan alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
