Description

A flavorful bowl of grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy dressing that embodies the zest of Mexican cuisine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ears of corn, kernels removed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled cotija cheese in a large bowl for a fresh vegetable mixture.
  3. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined in a separate small bowl.
  4. Assemble your bowls by layering a generous portion of cooked rice, followed by the sliced chicken, and the corn vegetable mixture on top.
  5. Drizzle the prepared dressing over everything and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful experience.

Notes

Consider pairing with tortilla chips and fresh salsa for added crunch.
