Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups chicken broth

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 avocado, sliced

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Corn: In the same skillet, add corn kernels and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until heated through and slightly charred. If desired, sprinkle a little more salt and pepper for flavor.

        Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with lime juice and a pinch of salt. This creamy lime sauce will add richness and tang to your bowl.

          Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of fluffy rice, then layer on the seasoned chicken, sautéed corn, and top it off with slices of avocado and a generous drizzle of the lime mayonnaise. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Serve the bowls with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
