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
- In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, cook the rice according to package instructions.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add sweet corn, red onion, and bell pepper, cooking until the corn is slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken and mix everything together with the cooked rice and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with cilantro.
Notes
For added flavor, consider cooking the rice in chicken broth and topping with grated cheese before serving.
