Making this Easy Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. If using frozen corn, thaw it out ahead of time.
2. Cook the Rice: If you haven’t done so, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
5. Add Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Season Chicken: Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Stir well to combine the flavors.
7. Mix in Corn and Peppers: Add the sweet corn and diced bell pepper into the skillet. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
8. Combine with Rice: Gently fold the cooked rice into the skillet, mixing everything together until evenly combined.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and optionally sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
10. Serve: Distribute the Easy Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl into serving bowls. Offer lime wedges on the side for a zesty addition if desired.
