Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by marinating those chicken breasts. Mix up your marinade and let the chicken chill in there for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Fire up that grill! Toss your corn on there for about 10 minutes, turning to get nice char marks.
Cooking
  1. Add your marinated chicken and grill for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until it’s cooked through (165°F internal temp is key!).
  2. While that’s happening, cut the kernels off the cob and mix with mayo, feta, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Assembly
  1. Once everything’s cooked, start with a generous scoop of rice, layer on your grilled chicken, and heap on that street corn salad.
  2. Then load it up with black beans, cherry tomatoes, and anything else your heart desires.
  3. Finish with a slice or two of avocado, a drizzle of sour cream, and some jalapeños, if you’re feeling adventurous.

Notes

If you somehow have leftovers, store each component separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. The chicken can be reheated in the microwave or briefly on the stove.
