Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderloins (cut into 2" chunks)
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Rice
- 2 cups dry jasmine rice (or your preferred rice)
Sauce and Toppings
- 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 Sauce and Salad: Prepare the street corn salad and creamy jalapeno sauce ahead of time, ideally a day or two before assembling the bowls for best flavor.
- Cook Rice: Cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions, then keep warm while preparing the chicken.
- Season Chicken: Drizzle the chicken chunks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season liberally with 2 tablespoons of blackened Cajun seasoning, ensuring even coating.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat the pan. Add the seasoned chicken chunks and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Assemble Bowls: To assemble, place 1 cup of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with 2/3 cup of street corn salad, add a scoop of the cooked blackened chicken, drizzle with creamy jalapeno sauce, then top with diced avocado and a lime wedge. Sprinkle with tajin seasoning if desired.
Notes
- These bowls are perfect for meal prep as flavors meld beautifully when made in advance.
- Use jasmine rice for its fragrant aroma, but any preferred long-grain rice will work.
- Adjust the blackened seasoning amount to your spice preference.
- Optional tajin seasoning adds a nice tangy and mildly spicy kick; omit if sensitive to spice.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety and juiciness.
- Homemade creamy jalapeno dip can be substituted with a store-bought spicy mayo or ranch if needed.
