Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch chipotle powder optional
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
Street Corn
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn preferably grilled or roasted
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayo
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper or jalapeño optional, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup cotija cheese
  • 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 medium avocado sliced

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

  1. Cube the chicken breast and mix with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until it starts to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. While the chicken cooks, zest the lime for the street corn and set aside.
  4. Add the honey and lime juice to the chicken. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the juices thicken and the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Save any juice left from the pan in a small container.
  6. In the same skillet (dry), lightly sauté the corn over medium-high heat with salt and chili powder until warm and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  7. Whisk the yogurt, lime juice, and lime zest together in a medium bowl.
  8. Add the red onion, green bell pepper (or jalapeño), cotija cheese, cilantro, and cooked corn to the yogurt mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
  9. Assemble the bowls: layer cooked rice, avocado slices, the street corn mixture, cooked chicken, and a drizzle of the leftover juice from the pan.
