Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook Jasmine or Basmati rice according to package instructions. In a pot, bring water to a boil, then add rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Lower heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
- While rice is cooking, rub the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Set aside to let the spices meld.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- When the chicken is nearly finished, add corn to the skillet and stir it occasionally for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, sautéed corn, and chopped chicken. Add cilantro and lime juice, and gently toss until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into bowls and top with avocado slices and crumbled Cotija or feta cheese. Serve immediately.
