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)
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, ideally a day or two before assembling the bowls to enhance flavors.
- Cook rice: Cook two cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions. Keep warm while preparing the chicken.
- Season chicken: Drizzle the chicken chunks with one tablespoon of olive oil and season liberally with blackened Cajun seasoning, coating all pieces evenly.
- Cook chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil to coat the pan. Add the seasoned chicken chunks and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Assemble bowls: In each bowl, add 1 cup of cooked rice, top with about 2/3 cup of street corn salad, a scoop of blackened chicken, a drizzle of creamy jalapeno sauce, diced avocado, and a lime wedge. Sprinkle with tajin seasoning if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- These bowls are excellent for meal prepping and can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Use skinless, boneless chicken for easier cooking and shredding if preferred.
- Substitute blackened seasoning with Cajun or Creole seasoning if unavailable.
- Jasmine rice can be substituted with basmati or long-grain white rice as per preference.
- For a spicier kick, add extra jalapeno sauce or sprinkle extra tajin seasoning on top.
- If dairy-free is desired, swap creamy jalapeno sauce with a vegan version or avocado-based dressing.
