Description
A quick and flavorful bowl combining juicy grilled chicken, smoky corn, and seasoned rice. Balanced with tangy lime and chili-lime mayo, this 30-minute meal is perfect for weeknights. Customize with low-carb cauliflower rice.
Ingredients
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (Unseasoned skin mixture provides better grill results)
2 ears corn on the cob (Frozen grilled corn kernels work in a pinch)
1.5 cups long-grain rice (Rice cooker settings yield perfect texture)
4 tbsp salt-free mayo (Plain Greek yogurt thins the mixture)
2 tbsp chili powder (Adjust to personal heat preferences)
1 lime (Juice and zest give fresh acidity)
Olive oil (For grilling chicken)
Sea salt and black pepper (For seasoning)
Instructions
Cook rice according to packaging instructions. Transfer to individual bowls for stacking
Pat chicken dry, brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Grill 5-7 minutes per side
Grill corn 8-10 minutes until charred. Slather with mayo-chili mix after grilling for optimal absorption
Top rice with chicken, corn, and additional chili powder. Finish with lime slices for brightness
Notes
Microwave-grill chicken 2 minutes per side to save time (use microwave-safe containers)
Pre-chop chili powder and sea salt mix for faster seasoning
Warm mayo ahead of use for smoother texture
Substitute rice with cauliflower rice for low-carb version
Use frozen grilled corn for year-round availability
