Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (skinless for a leaner option)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (substitute with any neutral oil)
  • 1 cup Rice (brown rice enhances fiber)
  • 2 cups Corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium Red Onion (yellow onion is a suitable alternative)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (fresh is best)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (or substitute with lemon juice)
  • 1 medium Avocado (or Greek yogurt for a tasty alternative)
  • 1/2 cup Cotija or Feta Cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (can be omitted)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then cook it according to package instructions.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté them for about 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Create the Corn Mixture: In the same skillet, toss in the chopped red onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Add the corn and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Combine with Lime Juice: Stir in the lime juice to brighten the flavors of your corn mixture, allowing it to simmer together for another minute.
  5. Assemble Your Bowl: Layer a generous scoop of rice, followed by the savory corn mixture, sliced chicken, creamy avocado, and sprinkle it with cheese.
  6. Final Touches: Drizzle an extra squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of Greek yogurt over the top for added flavor.
