Method
Prepare the Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Season with salt to taste and keep warm.
Cook the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and set aside.
Make the Street Corn
- In the same skillet, add corn kernels and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until corn is lightly charred and heated through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and 1 tablespoon lime juice to make chipotle mayo.
- Remove corn from heat and stir in half of the chipotle mayo and half of the crumbled cotija cheese.
Assemble the Bowls
- Divide cilantro lime rice among bowls. Top each bowl with cooked chicken, street corn mixture, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.
- Drizzle remaining chipotle mayo over the top and garnish with remaining cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
Notes
To make this gluten-free, ensure the chicken broth is gluten-free. You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast if preferred. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control heat level.
