Cook the rice using your favorite cooking method. Drizzle the hot rice with fresh lime juice and cilantro. Fluff up and set aside.

Marinate the chicken with the cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika.

In a skillet, heat oil to medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan in a single layer and cook on both sides until cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165°F and is golden brown on both sides.

Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm. Once slightly cooled, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

To the same pan, add butter, corn, and saute until golden-brown.

In a small bowl, mix chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to make homemade pico de gallo.

Slice the avocado or prepare guac.

To build your bowl, add a handful of white rice.

Top the rice with chicken and the rest of your desired toppings. We love to add sour cream, shredded cheese, and lettuce, along with the prepared salsa.

Serve, and enjoy!
