Instructions

1. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 300g jasmine rice with 600ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (approximately 5 minutes). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine 600g chicken thighs, 30g olive oil, 10g chili powder, 5g cumin, 5g smoked paprika, 10g salt, and 5g black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat the large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 3 minutes). Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F). Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Prepare the Corn: In the same skillet, add 300g fresh corn kernels and 150g diced red bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until the corn is slightly charred and tender. Add 100g finely chopped red onion and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 120g mayonnaise with 60g freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir until smooth.
6. Assemble the Bowl: Fluff the rice with a fork and divide it among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, sautéed corn mixture, and sliced avocado. Drizzle the lime mayonnaise sauce over the top and garnish with 30g chopped cilantro and 100g crumbled feta cheese.
7. Serve: Enjoy your luxurious street corn chicken rice bowl immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.

Chef’s Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using duck fat instead of olive oil when cooking the chicken. If you prefer a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh. For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the corn mixture.
