Spicy Chicken Street Style Corn Rice Bowl

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken Breast or Thighs (diced after cooking)
• 2 tbsp Sofrito (for chicken marinade)
• 0.25 cup Greek Yogurt (for chicken texture)
• Chicken Seasoning Mix (Chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, paprika, sazon, turmeric, and a tiny bit of jerk seasoning)
• 2 cup Corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)
• 1 Jalapeño peppers (diced for corn mix)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
• 0.33 cup Greek Yogurt (for corn mix (mayo substitute))
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 3 cup White Rice (cooked)
• 1 handful Fresh Cilantro (chopped for rice and corn mix)
• 2 Lemon and Lime (for juice across all components)
• 1 cup Green Sauce Greek Yogurt (base for sauce)
• 1 tbsp Light Mayo (for sauce)
• 1 Jalapeño (for sauce)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, marinate the chicken with sofrito, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, paprika, sazon, turmeric, a tiny bit of jerk seasoning, and Greek yogurt. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

3. 3

   Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes until cooked through. Reserve the juices (gravy) that form in the pan.

4. 4

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and dice it into bite-sized pieces. Toss the diced chicken back into the pan with its natural juices to keep it moist and flavorful.

5. 5

   Prepare the Street Style Corn Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, diced jalapeño, chili peppers, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion. Stir in Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.

6. 6

   Prepare the Cilantro Lime Rice: Take your cooked white rice and fold in fresh chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, and salt to taste.

7. 7

   Make the Green Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon light mayo, a handful of cilantro, 1 jalapeño, a squeeze of lime, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy.

8. 8

   Assemble the bowls: Start with a base of cilantro lime rice, top with the spiced chicken and the street style corn mix, then drizzle generously with the green sauce.

Notes

The creator mentions that this recipe also works perfectly as tacos. The Greek yogurt in the chicken marinade is used specifically for texture, and in the corn mix, it serves as a healthier substitute for mayonnaise.
