Description

A vibrant blend of grilled chicken, sweet corn, and zesty lime dressing in a satisfying rice bowl.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cubed
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder (or preferred spices)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, cook the rice according to package instructions.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked (about 6–7 minutes per side). Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, add sweet corn, red onion, and bell pepper, cooking until the corn is slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  5. Slice the chicken and mix everything together with the cooked rice and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  6. Serve in bowls, garnished with cilantro.

Notes

For added flavor, consider cooking the rice in chicken broth and topping with grated cheese before serving.
