Description
A quick and easy weeknight dinner that combines tender chicken, street corn, and fluffy rice in a vibrant, flavorful bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rice
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup street corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions, fluffing it gently with a fork once done to keep it light and airy.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the diced chicken to the pan, seasoning it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the street corn, soy sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, tasting as you go for that perfect balance.
- Serve the chicken and corn mixture over a generous mound of fluffy rice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
Notes
Make ahead by preparing the chicken and corn mixture a day in advance. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
