This Street Corn Chicken Bowl combines smoky grilled chicken, creamy street corn topping, and fresh veggies for a vibrant, flavorful summer meal that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 ears of fresh corn on the cob (or 1 1/2 cups canned/frozen corn)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Cotija cheese, crumbled
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mix evenly over the chicken breasts or thighs.
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest before slicing.
  3. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, rotating frequently, until slightly charred on all sides. Remove kernels from the cob once cooled.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine grilled corn kernels, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, lime juice, and chili powder. Stir until well combined.
  5. Dice tomatoes, slice avocados, and shred lettuce. Chop cilantro for garnish.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Start with a base of shredded lettuce. Add sliced chicken, street corn topping, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately and assemble bowls just before serving. Adjust chili powder and lime juice to taste. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F.
