Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro lime)
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes per side.
  3. While chicken cooks, mix corn kernels, mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, and salt in a bowl to make the street corn topping.
  4. Slice cooked chicken.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering rice, sliced chicken, and generous spoonfuls of street corn topping.

Notes

  • Add diced avocado or black beans for extra creaminess and protein.
  • Use grilled chicken for added smoky flavor.
  • Increase chili powder or add hot sauce for more heat.
  • Thaw and drain frozen corn well before using.
  • Prepare chicken and rice ahead, assemble bowls just before serving.
