Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Street Corn: In a large bowl, mix fresh corn kernels, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cotija cheese, cilantro, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add cooked rice as the base, layer sliced grilled chicken, and top with the street corn mixture. Add avocado slices if desired.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately while warm.
