Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup frozen corn kernels (or fresh, if in season)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Crumbled cotija cheese (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until coated evenly.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced red onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

          Add the Corn: Stir in the corn and cook for another 2 minutes until it’s heated through.

            Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and lime juice, stirring well to combine and heat everything through for about 1-2 minutes.

              Serve over Rice: Divide the cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

                Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese (if using). Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
