INGREDIENT NOTES:

BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST:

  • Chicken breast is the main component that cooks quickly and stays tender. It keeps the points low and absorbs the spices very well. You may use turkey breast as per your preference.

OLIVE OIL:

  • It makes the chicken brown and keeps it from sticking. Olive oil keeps the recipe lighter and gives a flavorful exterior to the recipe. Include avocado oil if you are not using olive oil.

CORN KERNELS:

  • This is the ingredient that gives natural sweetness and juicy texture to the meal. Corn kernels make the color bright and give the recipe its flavor. You may use canned corn as another option.

NON-FAT PLAIN GREEK YOGURT:

  • It makes the creamy street corn sauce while keeping the recipe lighter. Greek yogurt maintains the sweetness of the corn. You may use light sour cream as a substitute.

REDUCED-FAT FETA CHEESE:

  • This cheese gives a creamy texture and salty taste without adding extra fat. It crumbles easily and mixes well in the yogurt sauce. You may use reduced-fat cotija cheese as another idea.

BROWN RICE:

  • It is the hearty base of the bowl that keeps the meal satisfying. Brown rice pairs well with seasoned chicken and creamy street corn. Utilize jasmine rice instead for a better alternative.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, cook the brown rice as per package guidelines and put it aside.
  2. Mix chili powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and garlic powder, then coat the chicken with this seasoning.
  3. Warm olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 8 minutes.
  4. Take the chicken from the skillet and cook the corn for 4 minutes in the same skillet.
  5. Now mix lime zest, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, chili powder, lime juice, cilantro, and smoked paprika in the bowl.
  6. Add cooked corn to the yogurt mixture and put the cooked rice evenly in the bowls.
  7. Include lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, red onion, and street corn mixture on top.
  8. Lastly, garnish the dish with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges.
