Creating the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Prepare your rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let it rest before slicing.
4. Cook the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are slightly charred and caramelized. Remove from heat.
5. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make a creamy dressing.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice in each serving bowl. Top with sliced chicken, sautéed corn, and drizzle with the creamy sauce.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños if desired.
8. Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
