Ingredients
  

1 cup uncooked white or brown rice

2 cups water or chicken broth

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (can use rotisserie chicken)

2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes (or according to package instructions) until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Corn: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the corn kernels. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is slightly charred and golden. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well and remove from heat.

      Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of rice. Layer the shredded chicken on top, followed by the sautéed corn, diced red bell pepper, and red onion.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and diced avocado over each bowl. Drizzle the lime mayonnaise sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Serve the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowls with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
