Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse one cup of rice in cold water until clear. Combine with two cups of water or broth and a pinch of salt in a medium pot. Bring to boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Let sit covered for 5 minutes after cooking.
- Pat dry chicken breasts or thighs. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seasoned chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Squeeze lime juice over the cooked chicken and let it rest before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil or butter. Cook corn kernels over medium heat for 4-6 minutes until heated and slightly charred.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Fold in warm corn.
- Assemble bowls with a portion of rice, top with sliced chicken, and creamy corn mixture. Finish with cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
