Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 0.5 cup cotija or feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 splash olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the rice according to package instructions. While it’s cooking, prep the other ingredients.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Cooking
  1. Warm a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  2. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until no longer pink.
  3. Toss in the corn and sauté for 3-5 minutes.

Assembly

  2. Serve topped with slices of avocado and cheese.

Notes

Double the corn if you really love that sweet crunch! Use brown rice for a healthier option if you’re feeling virtuous. Swap chicken for shrimp or even plant-based proteins for a fun twist. Add some hot sauce if you want a fiery kick!
