Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderloins (cut into 2" chunks)
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Rice
- 2 cups dry jasmine rice (or your preferred rice)
Sauces and Toppings
- 1 cup prepared homemade Chuy's creamy jalapeno dip
- 3 cups prepared Street Corn Salad
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1 lime (sliced into wedges)
- optional: tajin seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare Sauces and Street Corn: Prepare the street corn salad and creamy jalapeno sauce ahead of time, ideally a day or two before assembling the bowls to enhance flavors.
- Cook Rice: Cook two cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions. Keep warm while preparing the chicken.
- Season Chicken: Drizzle chicken chunks with one tablespoon of olive oil and season liberally with blackened cajun seasoning to ensure even coating and flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil or enough to coat the pan. Add the chicken chunks and sauté for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Assemble Bowls: Add one cup of cooked rice to each bowl. Top with approximately 2/3 cup of street corn salad, a scoop of cooked blackened chicken, a drizzle of creamy jalapeno sauce, diced avocado, and a lime wedge. Sprinkle with tajin seasoning if desired.
Notes
- These bowls are great for meal prep; all components can be made in advance and assembled when ready to eat.
- If you prefer, substitute jasmine rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- Use fresh lime juice for extra brightness if lime wedges are unavailable.
- Tajin seasoning adds a mild spicy, tangy kick—adjust quantity or omit according to taste.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
