Instructions
- Prepare rice: In a medium saucepan, boil water. Add rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Toss rice with cilantro, lime juice, and zest.
- Make corn salad: Combine corn, Greek yogurt, cotija, mayo, lime juice, zest, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
- Cook chicken: Mix all spices in a small bowl. Toss chicken in a larger bowl with spice mix.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and reaches 165°F internally.
- Assemble bowls: Evenly divide the cilantro lime rice among 4 bowls.
- Top each bowl with chicken chunks and a scoop of the corn salad. Add avocado, pickled onions (or fresh), cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
Use fresh corn for a sweeter taste if desired.
Adjust spice levels by omitting jalapeño or adding more spices.
Store leftover ingredients separately for freshness.
