Instructions
 

Chicken Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for the chicken rub and rub on all chicken thighs.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the chicken for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Corn Preparation

  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the corn.
  • Saute for about 5 minutes or until it starts to brown. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.

Assembly

  • When the chicken is done, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Assemble your bowls with a base of rice, then add on the corn, chicken, cilantro, onion, cilantro lime crema.

Notes

Depending on how creamy you want the corn, you can adjust the amount of Greek yogurt and mayo you use! Start with 2 each and add more as desired. A quick shortcut for cilantro lime rice is to just add in ½ cup of chopped cilantro with 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice, a pinch of salt into already cooked white rice. I like the microwave rice from Trader Joes!
