1-Getting started with this Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl: is as simple as following a few easy steps. I’ll guide you through it like I’m in the kitchen with you, sharing tips from my own experiences. First, marinate the chicken to lock in those flavors.

2-Begin by mixing 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper with 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes to absorb the seasonings. This step makes the chicken tender and full of taste.

3-Next, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side until it’s golden and fully cooked, then slice it up. While that’s happening, prepare the street corn topping by mixing 1 cup sweet corn kernels, ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, 1 cup sour cream (reserving half), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, ½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

4-Assembling Your Bowl: Once everything’s ready, reheat 3 cups of cooked jasmine rice with a splash of water. Layer the rice in your bowl, add the sliced chicken, top with the street corn mixture, extra Cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro. Finish with lime wedges and maybe a drizzle of the reserved sour cream for extra creaminess.
