Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Sliced radishes for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne pepper (if using), and half of the cotija cheese. Stir until well combined.
  4. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, charred corn, and the mayo mixture.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over the top. Garnish with sliced radishes and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try grilling the chicken instead of pan-searing it.
  • You can substitute the cotija cheese with feta cheese for a different taste.
  • If you want a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with black beans or grilled vegetables.
