Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup rice (or quinoa for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/2 cup feta or cotija cheese (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
- Cook rice according to package instructions, using chicken broth for added flavor. Fluff with a fork once done.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the corn until charred, then let cool and cut off the kernels.
- In the same grill pan, cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
- Assemble the bowl by layering rice, sliced chicken, grilled corn, crumbled cheese, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
- Serve with extra lime and hot sauce on the side.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances flavor. Use broth instead of water for cooking rice to add depth.
