Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breasts

For this recipe, you’ll need two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total). The chicken serves as the protein base of the dish. Grilling or searing it will create a tasty outer layer while keeping the inside juicy.

Sweet Corn

Use two ears of fresh sweet corn or one cup of frozen sweet corn. The sweetness from the corn complements the savory flavors in the dish. If using fresh corn, grill it briefly to enhance its natural sweetness.

White Rice

Prepare one cup of white rice (uncooked). Cooking it according to package directions delivers a light and fluffy base for your bowl. You can also use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.

Lime Juice

Juice from one lime adds brightness to the dish. Fresh lime juice elevates the flavors by balancing sweetness and richness with its acidity.

Cilantro

A quarter cup of chopped fresh cilantro enhances flavor through its herbal notes. It adds freshness to each bite and brightens up the overall taste.

Chili Powder

One teaspoon of chili powder brings warmth to your dish without overwhelming heat. It provides depth and pairs well with both the chicken and sweet corn.

Olive Oil

You’ll need two tablespoons of olive oil for cooking the chicken and drizzling over vegetables. It helps in achieving that golden brown crust on the meat while adding richness.
