Ingredients
Method
Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and ensure it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Rice
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and 1.25 to 1.5 cups of water, following package instructions. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Cook until the rice is fluffy.
Sauté the Corn
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet corn and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it’s slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill the Chicken
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
Make Optional Crema
- If you like, you can mix sour cream or Greek yogurt with a bit of lime juice and salt to create a creamy topping.
Assemble Bowls
- In a bowl, start with a base of rice. Top it with sliced grilled chicken, sautéed corn, diced avocados, and a dollop of crema. Finish with a sprinkle of cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or on the stove until heated through. You can adjust the spices according to your taste preferences. If you want a quicker option, use pre-cooked grilled chicken.
