Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.

2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Set aside.

3. In the same skillet, sauté the corn for 3-5 minutes until slightly charred and flavorful.

4. Let the chicken rest, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.

5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed corn, chopped chicken, cilantro, and lime juice.

6. Divide the mixture into serving bowls. Top each with avocado slices and a sprinkle of cheese.

7. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle over the bowls before serving.

Notes

For a lower-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

You can substitute turkey or tofu for the chicken to make this dish vegetarian or lighter.

The creamy lime dressing ties the bowl together—don’t skip it!
