Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 cups cooked white rice

1 1/2 cups corn kernels

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons water


Instructions

1. Cook the rice if it is not already prepared, then set it aside and keep warm.

2. Place the diced chicken in a bowl and toss it with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked through.

4. Add the corn to the same skillet and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through.

5. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and water until smooth and drizzle-ready.

6. Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls.

7. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken and warm corn.

8. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over each bowl and finish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken, or it will steam instead of getting those flavorful golden edges.
