  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 ears fresh corn on the cob
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika (preferably smoked)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Tortilla chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked.
  2. Season chicken breasts with cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Brush corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill alongside chicken for about 10 minutes until charred.
  4. Once cooked, let chicken rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces. Cut corn off the cob into a bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime juice and cilantro to create a zesty sauce.
  6. To serve, layer rice in bowls followed by sliced chicken and grilled corn. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Add crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch if desired.
