Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro-lime rice)
  • 2 chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Grill the Chicken: Start by marinating your chicken breasts. Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss your chicken in the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Preheat your grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest while you prepare the other components.
  2. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill the ears on the same grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté it in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly charred. Canned corn just needs to be drained.
  3. Warm the Black Beans: In a small saucepan, heat the drained black beans over medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Chop the Toppings: While everything is cooking, dice your red onion and tomatoes. Set them aside in small bowls, along with the crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.
  5. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a generous scoop of cooked rice, layer on sliced grilled chicken, spoon on some black beans, and top with the delicious corn. Add fresh tomatoes, red onion, and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Finish with a drizzle of your lime sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Your masterpiece is ready to be enjoyed!
