Instructions

Embarking on the journey to create the Flavor-packed Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is easy and enjoyable. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rice with water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice cooks, season the chicken breasts with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

4. Sauté the Corn: In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and heated through. This step enhances the flavor and adds a delicious caramelization.

5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt to create a zesty dressing.

6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken, sautéed corn, crumbled feta cheese, and diced avocado.

7. Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle the lime cilantro dressing over the assembled bowls. Finish by topping with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Optionally, add jalapeños or green onions for extra heat and flavor.

By adhering to these steps, you’re well on your way to enjoying a flavor sensation with every bite!
