Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lime juice. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken in the pan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
  3. Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes until it's slightly charred and golden. Season with salt and chili powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Start with a base of fluffy cooked rice in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken and sautéed corn. Drizzle with creamy sauce, then sprinkle with cotija cheese, cilantro, and avocado slices.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours. Fresh corn is best for sweetness and texture. Store components separately for optimal freshness.
