  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)

  • 1 cup corn (roasted or grilled)

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Rub chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  2. Cook Chicken: Grill or pan-sear until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F), about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice.

  3. Prepare Crema: Whisk together sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.

  4. Assemble Bowl: Start with a base of cooked rice. Top with sliced chicken, roasted corn, red onion, jalapeño, cotija, and cilantro.

  5. Drizzle Crema: Finish with a generous drizzle of lime crema and a wedge of lime on the side.

Notes

  • Great for meal prep; store components separately for freshness.
