Description
A vibrant and flavorful bowl combining tender chicken, sweet street corn, creamy sauce, and fluffy rice with just five simple ingredients—perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
1 1/2 cups street-style corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)
Instructions
- If using frozen corn, thaw and drain excess water. If using canned corn, drain well.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) with half of the crumbled cheese, mixing well to create a creamy sauce.

- Spoon street-style corn evenly over the chicken, then drizzle the creamy sauce on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining cotija cheese for a salty, tangy finish and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe makes 2 servings.
Prep time is about 10 minutes; total time is 10 minutes since ingredients are pre-cooked.
Can substitute chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu.
Greek yogurt can be used instead of mayonnaise for a tangier and lower-calorie option.
Fresh, canned, or frozen corn all work well.
Optional: Add chili powder or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When reheating, add a splash of water or extra sauce to keep corn moist.
Recipe is naturally gluten-free if sauces and chicken are additive-free.
Brown rice can be used instead of white rice for more fiber.
To make vegan, replace chicken with tofu or chickpeas, use vegan mayo, and substitute cheese with plant-based alternative.
