Ingredients

Scale

This recipe calls for fresh, simple ingredients that come together to create a symphony of flavors. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ears of corn, grilled and kernels removed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional, for a little heat)

If you can’t find cotija cheese, feta is a great substitute. And for those nights when grilling isn’t an option, canned corn can be a handy alternative.

Instructions

Let’s walk through the steps to create this delightful bowl that’s sure to become a favorite in your home:

  1. Start by cooking your jasmine rice according to the package instructions. While the rice is cooking, you can prepare the chicken.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, grill the corn on a grill pan or outdoor grill until lightly charred. Remove the kernels from the cob once cooled.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, and cilantro. This will be your creamy street corn sauce.
  6. To assemble the bowls, start with a base of rice, top with sliced chicken, a generous helping of the grilled corn, and drizzle with the street corn sauce.
  7. Garnish with lime wedges, sliced jalapeños, and extra cotija cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of flavors.

Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Use these steps as a guide, but feel free to add your twist. Maybe a dash of chili powder for extra spice or some avocado for creaminess—make it yours!
