Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Grains

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Dressing & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill and season chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and half of the chili powder. Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. Roast the corn: While the chicken cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and roast them until they become lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for even charring, then set aside.
  4. Make the creamy lime dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, the remaining chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among four meal prep containers. Top each portion with sliced grilled chicken, roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and crumbled cotija cheese.
  6. Add dressing and garnish: Drizzle the creamy lime dressing over each bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro. Store the bowls in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the chili powder or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Use fresh corn when in season for the best flavor, otherwise frozen corn works well.
  • Make sure to let the grilled chicken rest before slicing to retain juices.
  • These bowls keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them ideal for meal prepping.
  • Substitute cotija cheese with feta for a similar crumbly texture and tangy flavor if unavailable.
