Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels
  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet For cooking seasoned chicken
  • 1 Small mixing bowl To whisk creamy dressing
  • 4 Serving bowls For assembling rice bowls
  • 1 Whisk To blend dressing smooth

Method
 

  1. Season the diced chicken with chili powder, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil, then add the chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and paprika until smooth. This creates that signature Mexican street corn flavor.
  3. Distribute the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of chicken and corn. Drizzle with the creamy dressing for maximum flavor impact.
  4. Sprinkle each bowl with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. These fresh garnishes add incredible texture and authentic Mexican flavor.
  5. Accompany each bowl with a wedge of lime to squeeze over the top just before eating. The fresh lime juice ties all the flavors together perfectly.
