Description

A comforting street corn chicken rice bowl featuring tender chicken, sweet corn, and creamy lime mayo, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Feta cheese (optional)


Instructions

  1. Mix mayonnaise and lime juice; set this dressing aside.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and allow them to rest before slicing.
  5. Add corn to the same skillet and char for about 3-4 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  6. Assemble the bowl by placing cooked rice at the bottom, topped with sliced chicken, charred corn, and a drizzle of lime mayo.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Use leftover cooked rice for a quicker preparation. Feel free to add jalapeños for a spicier kick or customize the toppings to your liking.
