Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sour cream

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Olive oil

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup jasmine rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork afterward.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden crust. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing it into strips.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Add the corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

        Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and pepper. This will be your creamy dressing for the bowl.

          Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of jasmine rice, then arrange the sliced chicken on top. Add the sautéed corn, bell pepper, and onion mixture. Top with diced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and a drizzle of the creamy dressing.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and an extra lime wedge for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl!
