Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 splash olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 large avocado
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 0.5 cup cotija or feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder for maximum flavor coverage.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. When the chicken is almost done cooking, add the corn to the same skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until it achieves a slightly smoky flavor.
  5. Once cooked through, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed corn, chopped chicken, cilantro, and lime juice.
  7. Divide the mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with slices of avocado and a sprinkling of cheese.
