You can make this vibrant and satisfying Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl quickly for a weeknight dinner or for meal prepping. It combines tender chicken with savory, cheesy street corn flavors for a delicious, high-protein meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning (or more chili powder)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, and salt.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the frozen corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  4. While the corn cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and Tajín seasoning until smooth.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top the rice with the cooked chicken and the charred corn mixture.
  6. Drizzle the creamy Tajín-lime sauce generously over the chicken and corn.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro over the top of each bowl.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the rice, chicken, corn, and sauce separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the textures fresh.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor.
  • If you do not have Tajín, use a mix of chili powder, salt, and a pinch of dried oregano for a similar flavor profile.
