Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sweet corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup grated feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked cayenne optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 ripe avocado cut into wedges
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken thighs and season with smoked paprika, ground coriander, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, toss in the sweet corn and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, smoked cayenne (if desired), and half of the feta cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Evenly distribute the cooked jasmine rice into four serving bowls.
  6. Layer the sautéed chicken and charred corn on top of the rice.
  7. Drizzle the zesty yogurt sauce generously over each bowl.
  8. Finish by sprinkling the remaining feta cheese, adding the avocado wedges, and garnishing with chopped parsley.
  9. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
