# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Pop your chicken thighs in a bowl and pour the oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, plus a shake of salt and pepper right on top. Toss it all so every piece is covered. Cover the bowl up and let it hang out in the fridge for about 15–30 minutes.
02 -
Get your skillet nice and hot (medium-high works great). Drop in the marinated chicken and cook around 8–10 minutes each side. When they're browned and cooked through, pull them out to rest a few minutes, then slice or chop them up.
03 -
Mix the grilled corn with the red onion, mayo, sour cream, cotija, chili powder, a little salt and pepper, and lime juice. Stir it around until the mixture is super creamy and everything’s combined.
04 -
Got cold rice? Add a splash of water and warm it up in your microwave. Or use a pan on low heat till it's hot and fluffy.
05 -
Scoop rice into each bowl. Top with the chicken slices, a big spoonful of the corn mix, more cotija if you're feeling it, and extra cilantro. Tuck some lime wedges on the side.
06 -
Right before eating, squeeze a lime wedge over everything for that fresh tangy kick.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Want more spice? Toss in some chopped jalapeños or cayenne to the corn topping.
02 -
Swap in cauliflower rice if you’re after fewer carbs.
03 -
Add whatever toppings you like—try sliced avocado, pico de gallo, or radishes.
