  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ears fresh sweet corn
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • Juice of 2 limes (about ¼ cup)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, cook rice according to package instructions; for added flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.
  3. Grill or sauté the marinated chicken over medium heat until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side) until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Grill or boil the fresh corn until tender. Cool slightly before cutting kernels into a bowl; mix with mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and cotija cheese.
  5. Assemble bowls with a base layer of rice topped with sliced chicken, corn mixture, and garnish with cilantro.
