Make this high protein Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl for a quick, satisfying weeknight dinner. This recipe combines seasoned chicken, savory street corn, and a creamy sauce over fluffy rice, ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the frozen corn to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  4. While the corn cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and Tajín seasoning until smooth.
  5. Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top the rice with the cooked chicken and the seasoned corn.
  6. Drizzle the creamy Tajín-lime sauce generously over the chicken and corn.
  7. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the rice, chicken, corn, and sauce separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the textures fresh.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor.
  • If you do not have Tajín, use a mix of salt, lime zest, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a similar kick.
