  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice (fluffy white or brown)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Place in the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F).
  3. While the chicken bakes, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté sweet corn and diced red bell pepper until slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, combine chopped cilantro, diced avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the sautéed corn mixture and stir well.
  5. Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips. In serving bowls, layer rice as the base followed by the corn mixture and sliced chicken.
  6. Drizzle with a lime-mayonnaise mix (combine mayonnaise with lime juice) before serving.
