Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. If using fresh corn, grill it for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a pan with olive oil until heated through.
  8. Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob if using fresh corn. Drain and rinse canned corn.
  9. In a mixing bowl, combine corn with mayonnaise, lime juice, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well coated.
  10. In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, add a scoop of cooked rice as the base.
  11. Layer the sliced grilled chicken on top of the rice.
  12. Add the corn mixture over the chicken.
  13. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
  14. Add diced red onion for crunch and color.
  15. Top with sliced avocado for creaminess.
  16. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For added heat, include the cayenne pepper in the corn mixture.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences, such as adding jalapeños or swapping out the feta for another cheese.
