Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring every piece is well-covered. Let the chicken marinate for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated chicken thighs and sear for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest before slicing into strips.
- In a separate bowl, combine sweet corn kernels, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- If using leftover cooked jasmine rice, reheat it in a saucepan with a splash of water to maintain moisture over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Layer warm, fluffy jasmine rice in serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken and then spoon the street corn mixture over the chicken. Garnish with additional cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
- Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for a refreshing squeeze before eating.
