Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cooked quinoa or rice

cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp lime juice

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or cotija cheese)

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa or rice at the bottom. This will serve as the hearty base for your bowl.

    Season the Chicken: In a separate bowl, toss the shredded chicken with lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated. If desired, you can also add some of the chopped cilantro for extra flavor.

      Saut the Corn: In a skillet over medium heat, add the corn kernels and a pinch of salt. Saut for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

        Make the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, blend the mayonnaise with lime juice, remaining cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.

          Build the Bowl: On top of the quinoa or rice, layer the seasoned chicken, sauted corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped red onion.

            Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the top of the bowl, followed by a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.

              Serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before enjoying.
