Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Chicken:

    • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

    • 1 tbsp lime juice

    • 1 tbsp avocado oil

    • 1 tsp chili powder

    • 1 tsp cumin powder

    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 2 minced garlic cloves)

    • 1/2 tsp salt

    • 1/4 tsp black pepper

    For the Street Corn Topping:

    • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (grilled if possible, or frozen)

    • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

    • 1 cup sour cream (save half for drizzling)

    • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

    • 1/2 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (plus extra for garnish)

    • 1 tsp chili powder

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 1 lime, cut into wedges

    For the Rice and Assembly:

    • 3 cups cooked rice

    • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Season and Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs with the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

  • Prepare the Street Corn Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and chili powder. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  • Prepare the Rice: Reheat the cooked rice with a splash of water until warm and fluffy.

  • Assemble the Bowls: Layer the bowls with rice, sliced chicken, street corn topping, extra Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.

  • Optional: Drizzle extra sour cream or sprinkle Tajín on top for an extra burst of flavor.

 

  • Serve warm with a fresh squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • Grilling the corn adds extra smoky flavor, but frozen corn works just as well!

 

  • If you want an extra kick, add Tajín or your favorite hot sauce for a zesty boost.
