A Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is a vibrant, Mexican-inspired meal built around seasoned chicken, sweet corn prepared in a “street corn” style, rice, and bold toppings. It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for lunches, dinners, or meal prep.



 Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • Boneless chicken (breast or thigh), cut into bite-sized pieces

  • Olive oil or another cooking oil

  • Seasonings such as chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder

  • Optional lime juice for extra brightness



For the Street Corn Style Mix

  • Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or roasted)

  • Mayonnaise and/or sour cream

  • Lime juice

  • Cotija or feta cheese

  • Fresh cilantro

  • Optional add-ins: diced onion, jalapeƱo, hot sauce



For the Bowl

  • Cooked rice (white, brown, or any grain you prefer)

  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

  • Optional toppings: avocado, black beans, extra cheese

 How to Make It

1. Season and Cook the Chicken

  • Toss chicken pieces with seasonings.

  • Cook in a skillet with oil over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through.

  • Optionally squeeze a little lime juice over the chicken for extra flavor.

2. Prep the Street Corn Mix

  • In a bowl, combine corn with mayonnaise and/or sour cream.

  • Stir in lime juice, a pinch of chili or paprika, and crumbled cheese.

  • Mix in cilantro and other optional veggies or spices.

3. Assemble the Bowls

  • Divide warm rice into serving bowls.

  • Add the cooked chicken on top.

  • Spoon the creamy corn mixture over everything.

4. Finish with Toppings

  • Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over before eating.

 

šŸ‹ Tips & Variations

✔ Char your corn before mixing it in for a smoky, grilled flavor.
✔ Swap grains: try quinoa or cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
✔ Add protein: grilled shrimp or steak can replace chicken.
✔ Heat it up: add jalapeƱos or a dash of hot sauce for spice.
✔ Make it lighter: use yogurt instead of mayo/sour cream in the corn mix.
✔ Make it creamy: add shredded cheese or a drizzle of crema.




 Why It’s Great

  • Balanced: protein, carbs, and veggies in one bowl.

  • Customizable: easily adjust spiciness, toppings, or grain choice.

  • Meal-Prep Friendly: keeps well in the fridge for a few days.

  • Bright and Fresh: lime, cilantro, and corn give bright contrast to savory chicken
