Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Street Corn Chicken Bowl:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
2. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the heat and let it rest.
3. Cook the Corn: In a skillet, add a bit of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the sweet corn and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly charred.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
5. Chop the Vegetables: While the corn is cooking, chop the red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the grilled chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
7. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of tortilla chips or cooked rice in each bowl. Top with grilled chicken, sautéed corn, diced bell pepper, onions, halved tomatoes, and diced avocado.
8. Garnish: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top and sprinkle cotija cheese and chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the bowls while fresh, warm, and vibrant.
