Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderloins (cut into 2-inch chunks)
Seasoning & Marinade
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- optional: tajin seasoning for garnish
Grains
- 2 cups dry jasmine rice (or your preferred rice)
Sauces & Toppings
- 1 cup prepared homemade Chuy's creamy jalapeno dip
- 3 cups prepared Street Corn Salad
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions
- Prepare sauces and salad: Prepare the street corn salad and creamy jalapeno sauce ahead of time, ideally a day or two in advance for better flavor integration.
- Cook the rice: Cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions. Keep it warm while preparing other components.
- Season the chicken: Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the chicken chunks and coat them liberally with blackened seasoning to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil to coat the pan. Add the chicken chunks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Assemble the bowls: Place 1 cup of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with 2/3 cup street corn salad, then add a generous scoop of the cooked blackened chicken. Drizzle with creamy jalapeno sauce, add diced avocado and a lime wedge, and optionally sprinkle with tajin seasoning for an extra kick.
Notes
- These bowls are excellent for meal prep; store components separately for best freshness and combine when ready to eat.
- If you can't find blackened seasoning, substitute with a blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use any preferred rice type but jasmine adds fragrance and subtle sweetness.
- The creamy jalapeno dip can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Add more lime juice if you want a tangier flavor profile.
- Tajin seasoning is optional but adds a pleasant spicy, citrusy note.
