  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook chicken thighs for 8–10 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Street Corn Topping: Mix corn kernels, diced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, chili powder, and seasonings. Add lime juice and stir until combined.
  4. Reheat the Rice: Place cooked rice in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of water for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice into serving bowls, slice chicken, add to rice, spoon street corn topping over, and garnish with Cotija cheese and lime wedges.
