  • Cook Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill or sauté the marinated chicken for about 20–25 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Prepare Street Corn: Sauté corn in a separate pan on high heat, adding more garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Cook until it’s wonderfully charred.
  • Cook Rice/Quinoa: While your corn is cooking, prepare rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Stir in lime zest and a dash of garlic powder once it’s fluffy.
  • Assemble Bowl: Start with a base of rice or quinoa, then layer on sliced chicken, charred corn, and finish with creamy avocado and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Customize your bowl with your favorite toppings, like jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
