Creating the Easy Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is a breeze. Simply follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Rice: If you haven’t already, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set it aside when done.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the boneless chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no pink remains. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
5. Cook the Corn: In the same skillet, add the street corn. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Combine Ingredients: While the corn is cooking, slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces.
7. Add Beans and Tomatoes: Add the black beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet with the corn. Stir to combine and heat for another minute until warmed.
8. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice, followed by the chicken, corn mixture, avocado slices, and any additional toppings.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
These simple steps will lead you to a delicious and satisfying meal that’s sure to impress!
