Instructions
Assembly
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, street corn, and cooked rice. Toss lightly to distribute ingredients evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream or Greek yogurt with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it thinner, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Drizzle the creamy lime mixture over the chicken, corn, and rice. Gently toss until everything is well coated and saucy but not soupy.
Taste and adjust seasoning — a little extra lime or salt will brighten the whole bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
For variations, you can swap shredded chicken for turkey or canned chicken. Use brown rice for extra fiber or jasmine rice for a softer texture. For dairy-free, use a dairy-free yogurt.
