Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

      Make the Street Corn Mix: In a bowl, mix together the drained sweet corn, diced red bell pepper, green onions, cotija cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. Stir until combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Rice Bowls: Scoop 1 cup of cooked jasmine rice into individual serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, the street corn mixture, and avocado slices.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl!
