Creating the Street Corn Chicken Bowl is a simple process. Follow these easy steps for a fantastic dish:
1. Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. Grill or pan-sear until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side. Let it rest before shredding.
2. Cook the Corn: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add corn and spices (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
3. Mix Chicken and Corn: Combine the shredded chicken with the sautéed corn in a large bowl, adding lime zest and lime juice for extra flavor.
4. Prepare Additional Ingredients: Dice avocado, crumble feta cheese, and chop cilantro while the chicken and corn are cooking.
5. Assemble the Bowl: In individual bowls, layer the chicken and corn mixture at the bottom. Add diced avocado and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh cilantro.
6. Add Sauce: Drizzle sour cream over the top or layer with your selected optional toppings for an extra kick.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your vibrant Street Corn Chicken Bowl while it’s warm!
With these steps, you’ll create a beautiful and tasty dish that will certainly be a hit at your next meal.
