Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups fresh corn kernels or canned corn, drained
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder for smoky flavor
1/2 teaspoon cumin for added warmth
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup cooked quinoa for a nutritious base
2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking the chicken
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled for topping
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped for garnish
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, chipotle chili powder, and cumin. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the corn and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
While the chicken and corn are cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
To assemble the bowls, start with a base of quinoa in each bowl. Top with the chicken and corn mixture, followed by cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Street Corn Chicken Bowls!

Notes

Tip 1: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
Tip 2: These bowls can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Variation: Substitute chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
