Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken: Combine chicken marinade ingredients (recipe not provided) and marinate chicken for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Grill chicken: Heat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing or cubing.
  3. Grill corn: Heat grill to 450°F. Drizzle corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until slightly charred. Cut kernels off the cob.
  4. Make street corn salad: In a bowl, combine grilled corn, mayonnaise, feta cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, red onion, and cotija cheese. Stir to combine and adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Assemble bowls: Divide rice, chicken, and street corn salad between four bowls. Top with your favorite additions.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free feta and cotija cheese.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
