Description
A flavorful summer dish combining savory chicken and sweet corn over a bed of rice, topped with creamy sauce and fresh cilantro.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup street corn
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup cheese (cotija or feta)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 1 piece lime (juiced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Creamy sauce (like ranch or crema, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. In the same pan, add the corn and sauté for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly charred.
- Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Top with the sliced chicken, followed by the sautéed corn. Sprinkle cheese generously, drizzle with your chosen creamy sauce, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
Use organic chicken for better flavor. Fresh corn sweetens the dish significantly.
