Description
A vibrant chicken bowl inspired by street corn, perfect for casual gatherings or meal prep, featuring fresh corn, seasoned chicken, and creamy cotija cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup fresh corn (or canned, drained)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
- Sauté the corn, red bell pepper, and onion in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and stir until heated through, which should take about 5 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and add freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Assemble the bowls by layering the chicken and corn mixture, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese and cilantro on top.
Notes
Charring the corn slightly adds a delicious smoky flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
