Ingredients
Scale
2 pieces chicken breasts (cooked through)
1 cup street corn (fresh or frozen)
1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or quinoa)
1/2 cup cheese (like cotija or feta)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (for garnish)
1 piece lime (juiced)
to taste salt and pepper
to taste creamy sauce (like ranch or lime crema)
Instructions
- Cook the seasoned chicken breast until tender and fully cooked. Let rest, then slice or shred.
- In a skillet, cook the corn kernels until heated through and slightly charred.
- Assemble bowls: Start with rice, then add corn, chicken, and crumbled cheese. Drizzle with sauce and top with fresh cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn in summer and char it in a hot pan.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great time-saving alternative.
- Make it vegan by using black beans and tofu, and omitting the cheese or using a plant-based alternative.
- Meal prep friendly: store components separately and assemble before eating.
