Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked cilantro-lime rice
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced jalapeño (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add corn kernels and cook until tender and slightly charred, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and paprika. Add this mixture to the corn and stir to coat.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide cilantro-lime rice between two bowls. Top with seasoned chicken, elote-style corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Add sliced avocado.
  6. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before serving.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like black beans, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream.
  • This recipe is a great option for those looking for a high protein bowl.
