Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 breasts Chicken Breast (substitute with plant-based chicken or tofu for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder (adjust based on your heat preference)
  • 1 tsp Ground Chipotle (use sparingly for a milder taste)
  • 1 tsp Salt (always taste and adjust accordingly)
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice (brown rice can be used, adjust cooking time)
  • 2 cups Corn (Fresh or Frozen) (char in a dry skillet for maximum flavor)
  • 1 Avocado (for a lighter option, use less or substitute with guacamole)
  • 1/2 cup Cotija Cheese (can be replaced with crumbled feta or nutritional yeast)
  • 1 juice Lime (fresh lime juice maximizes flavor burst)
  • 1 jalapeño Diced Jalapeños (mix into the corn for heat)
  • 2 tbsp Spicy Mayo (blend hot sauce with mayonnaise)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with chili powder, ground chipotle, and salt. Preheat grill or pan over medium-high heat and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. While chicken rests, heat a cast-iron skillet to high. Add corn, cooking undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until blackened for smoky flavor.
  3. Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions, typically rinsing, boiling, and simmering for about 15 minutes.
  4. Slice avocado and set aside, ensuring presentation remains intact.
  5. Layer components in bowls starting with jasmine rice, then chicken, corn, and avocado. Sprinkle cotija cheese on top.
  6. Drizzle fresh lime juice over assembled bowls for brightness and let guests customize with extra toppings.
