Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 medium red onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sour cream

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: Hot sauce, for drizzle

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and corn kernels, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the corn is heated through.

      Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice. Top with the sautéed vegetables, sliced chicken, and crumbled feta cheese.

          Finish with Freshness: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Optionally, drizzle with your favorite hot sauce for added heat.
