Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl
A comforting and vibrant dish that combines grilled chicken, street corn, and fluffy rice, topped with cheese and fresh cilantro, perfect for family gatherings and bringing warmth to your table.
Ingredients
For the bowl
- 2 pieces Chicken breast Seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 cup Street corn (canned or fresh) Heated in a pan before serving
- 1 cup Rice (uncooked) Rinsed under cold water
- ½ cup Cheese (e.g., Cotija or Parmesan) Mixed with corn until melted
- 1 small bunch Fresh cilantro Chopped for garnish
- Juice of 1 lime Lime Added for flavor before serving
- ½ cup Creamy sauce (e.g., ranch or yogurt-based) Drizzled over the dish
- Salt and pepper To taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by rinsing the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the rice, and cook according to package instructions for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden.
- In the last few minutes of cooking the chicken, heat the street corn in a pan and mix in the cheese until melted.
Assembly
- Once the rice is cooked, start assembling your bowl. Place the cooked rice at the bottom.
- Top the rice with sliced chicken, cheesy street corn, and a drizzle of creamy sauce.
- Finish off with fresh cilantro and lime juice before serving.
Notes
For variations, consider toppings like crushed tortilla chips for crunch or diced avocados. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers and taste even better the next day.
