Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (about 800g) boneless and skinless
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lime juice
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil
- 1 tsp (5 g) chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 g) cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) garlic powder or 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1.25 g) black pepper
- 1 cup (175 g) sweet corn kernels, grilled, if possible – frozen
- 1/4 cup (40 g) thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt, save half to drizzle on top
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 cup (50 g) crumbled feta cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tsp (5 g) chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 3 cups (600 g) cooked rice
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Apply this mixture to the chicken thighs and let them soak in the flavors in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Warm up a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken by browning it for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until it is fully cooked. Allow it to rest before slicing.
- Combine grilled sweet corn or sautéed frozen corn, sliced red onion, half of the Greek yogurt, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, and chili powder. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice as needed.
- Gently reheat the cooked rice with a bit of water until it is warmed through and fluffy.
- In each serving bowl, layer the rice, sliced chicken, corn mixture, additional feta, and cilantro. Decorate with lime wedges.
- Optionally, drizzle the remaining Greek yogurt on top if desired. Optionally, sprinkle some Tajín for an extra kick.
- Serve while warm, adding a squeeze of lime if you like.
Notes
- – Enhance the chicken thighs’ flavor by grilling them instead of cooking in a skillet.
- – Substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt as a creamy topping.
- – Add a smoky touch to the corn mixture with a dash of smoked paprika.
