Equipment

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice fluffy foundation
  • 2 cups shredded chicken protein-packed element

For the Veggies

  • 1 cup corn kernels natural sweetness
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper crisp texture
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro fresh, herbaceous note

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder warm, smoky heat
  • 1 teaspoon cumin earthy aroma
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper adds hint of spice

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Cook rice: Begin by preparing your rice according to package instructions. Aim for fluffy grains that will hold up well under the toppings. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Combine ingredients: In a skillet over medium heat, mix together shredded chicken, corn kernels, diced bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything gently to meld the flavors.
  • Heat through: Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll know it's ready when the chicken and veggies are heated through and the colors brighten.
  • Add fresh flavors: Remove the skillet from heat and gently mix in lime juice and chopped cilantro. This adds a fresh zest that will lift the entire dish.
  • Serve with flair: Spoon the chicken and corn mixture generously over the bed of rice. You can top it off with a sprinkle of extra cilantro for garnish if you’d like.

Notes

Optional: Top with sliced avocado for a creamy addition.
