Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cups corn (grilled, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes or Tajín (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Extra lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook diced chicken until golden brown. Season with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In the same pan or separately, heat or grill the corn until lightly charred. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
  3. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, optional mayonnaise, and chili flakes or Tajín to make a creamy sauce.
  4. To assemble, place cooked rice in bowls, top with cooked chicken and corn, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
  5. Serve immediately or store in containers for meal prep. Optionally garnish with extra chili flakes or cotija cheese.

Notes

  • Use grilled corn for extra smoky flavor.
  • Swap Greek yogurt with sour cream for a richer sauce.
  • Great for meal prep—store in airtight containers up to 4 days.
  • Add cotija cheese for an authentic elote-style topping.
