Step-by-Step Instructions for Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl
  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to the package instructions, typically rinsing it first and then boiling it until tender for about 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Season the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder, allowing it to sit for a few minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
  4. Prepare the Corn Mixture: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté sweet corn for 4-5 minutes. Stir in mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a layer of rice, add sliced chicken, and top with the creamy corn mixture. Garnish with cilantro and cheese if desired.
