Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts/Thighs Feel free to substitute with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
For the Bowl
- 2 cups Corn Kernels Frozen corn works well for convenience.
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice Consider quinoa or cauliflower rice as low-carb alternatives.
- 1 medium Diced Red Onion May use shallots for a milder flavor.
- 1 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro Parsley can substitute if you’re not a fan of cilantro.
For the Creamy Drizzle
- 1 cup Sour Cream/Mexican Crema Greek yogurt can be a lighter option.
- 1 whole Lime Lemon is a good substitute if needed.

Instructions
Preparation
- Combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes, or even overnight for deeper flavors.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the marinated chicken until deeply golden and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Allow it to rest before slicing to retain its juicy goodness.
- In the same skillet, add corn kernels and cook until they are lightly charred and start to pop, roughly 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. If too thick, add a little water until you reach your desired drizzle consistency.
- Begin with a generous layer of cooked rice at the bottom of a bowl. Add sliced chicken, charred corn, diced red onion, and top with a drizzle of the creamy sauce.
- Enjoy your bowl immediately for the best taste experience!
