Equipment

  • Grill
  • Large Bowl
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 batch chicken marinade
  • 2 cups grilled corn (about 3–4 cobs)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1–2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/2 Tbsp. garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbled
  • 4 cups cooked rice (any type you like)
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup jalapeño slices
  • 2 lime wedges
  • extra fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1–2 avocados sliced

Instructions
 

  • Mix the chicken marinade in a small bowl. Pour it over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat (400–450°F). Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 4–6 minutes on each side until cooked through, moving to indirect heat if needed.
  • While the chicken is cooking, grill the corn by drizzling it with olive oil and seasoning with salt. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning until charred.
  • Slice the grilled corn off the cob and combine it in a bowl with mayonnaise, feta, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, red onion, and cotija cheese. Mix well.
  • Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and a generous scoop of street corn salad.
  • Add your choice of toppings: black beans, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño slices, lime wedges, avocado slices, sour cream, and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
