Instructions
Preparation
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Season the diced chicken with 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss so every piece is coated.
Cooking
Add the chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
Stir in the sweet corn and cook 2–3 more minutes until heated through and slightly toasted.
Assembly
Spread 1 cup cooked rice into a serving bowl, top with the chicken and corn.
Add diced avocado, drizzle with lime juice, and finish with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a milder, smokier flavor, swap chili powder for smoked paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. To prevent avocado from browning, keep it separate until serving.
