Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 ½ cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lime juice. Coat the chicken in this marinade and let it sit for at least 15–30 minutes to absorb all those great flavors.
- Heat your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked through, remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
- In the same pan you used for cooking chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn and cook for about 3–5 minutes until it's slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and chili powder for extra flavor.
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, lime juice, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir until smooth to create a deliciously creamy topping.
- Start with a generous base of cooked rice in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken and charred corn. Drizzle over your creamy sauce before finishing with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. If desired, add sliced avocado for an extra touch of creaminess.
