Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderloins (cut into 2-inch chunks)
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Rice
- 2 cups dry jasmine rice (or your preferred rice)
Toppings and Sauces
- 1 cup prepared homemade Chuy's creamy jalapeno dip
- 3 cups prepared Street Corn Salad
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1 lime (sliced into wedges)
- optional: Tajin seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare sauces and salad: Prepare the street corn salad and creamy jalapeno sauce ahead of time, preferably a day or two in advance to enhance flavors.
- Cook the rice: Cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions. Keep warm while you prepare the chicken.
- Season the chicken: Drizzle chicken chunks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat them liberally with blackened seasoning for bold flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil to coat the pan. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Assemble the bowls: In each bowl, add 1 cup of cooked rice, top with 2/3 cup of street corn salad, then add a scoop of the cooked blackened chicken. Drizzle with creamy jalapeno sauce, add diced avocado, and garnish with a lime wedge. Sprinkle with Tajin seasoning if desired for an extra kick.
Notes
- These bowls are meal-prep-friendly and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days for quick lunches or dinners.
- If you prefer, substitute jasmine rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
- The blackened seasoning can be adjusted to your preferred spice level or replaced with Cajun seasoning.
- Makes a great gluten-free and low-lactose meal if the creamy jalapeno dip is prepared without dairy or substituted accordingly.
- Tajin seasoning adds a nice tangy and spicy kick but is optional—lime juice offers fresh brightness as well.
