Description
A vibrant and flavorful bowl combining grilled chicken, sweet corn, sautéed bell peppers, and fluffy rice, topped with fresh cilantro and lime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g Chicken Breast
- 1 Cup Rice
- 1 Cup Sweet Corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 Bell Pepper, diced
- 1/2 Cup Onion, diced
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to the package instructions. Fluff it with a fork once it’s cooked for a light and airy texture.
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, generously season the chicken breast with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for a few minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onions and bell pepper. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Add Sweet Corn: Stir in the sweet corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The corn should become slightly caramelized, enhancing its sweetness.
- Assemble the Bowl: In bowls, layer the cooked rice. Top with sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and the delicious corn mixture. Toss everything gently to combine and ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish off with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for that vibrant pop of flavor. Serve immediately, reveling in the aromatic experience!
Notes
You can cook the chicken and rice ahead of time, storing them separately in the fridge for quick assembly. Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables.
