Description
A delicious and vibrant dish that brings the flavors of summer street corn to your dinner table, loaded with juicy chicken and creamy toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 cups prepared rice
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Mix lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy topping.
- Assemble your bowls by laying a base of rice, then top with sliced chicken, sweet corn, diced red onion, and drizzle the creamy sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken longer if time allows. You can substitute chicken thighs for breast meat or use grilled tofu for a vegetarian version.
