  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
  2. Prepare the Street Corn: In a mixing bowl, combine corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and chopped cilantro. Stir well.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with the seasoned chicken and the street corn mixture.

  • Use grilled or rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
  • Swap mayo and sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add black beans or roasted bell peppers for extra texture.
  • Serve with tortilla chips on the side for some crunch.
