In a serving bowl, layer cooked rice, black beans, corn, and the sautéed chicken mixture.

Top the bowl with shredded cheddar cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Sprinkle with sliced jalapeños and chopped cilantro for garnish.

Crush tortilla chips and sprinkle over the top for added crunch.
