Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the ingredients is your first step towards culinary bliss. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta as a substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

If you’re like me and always open to improvisation, feel free to swap ingredients based on what you have on hand. Chicken thighs work just as well, and if you’re out of cotija cheese, feta is a fantastic substitute.

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—cooking! Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delightful Street Corn Chicken Bowl ready in no time.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  3. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. While the chicken is roasting, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and chili powder, sautéing until the corn is slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth.
  6. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked rice or quinoa, sliced chicken, charred corn, avocado slices, and drizzle with the lime mayonnaise.
  7. Sprinkle the cotija cheese and chopped cilantro on top before serving.

Remember, this recipe is all about the love you put in. If you’re cooking with kids around, let them help out! Mine love to sprinkle the cheese or mix the lime mayo, making it a fun family affair.
