Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden-brown and fully cooked.
Choose a cooking method for the corn: grill for 10-15 minutes, boil for 5-7 minutes, or roast for 20-25 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine corn kernels with mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, cilantro, lime juice, and optional chili powder.
Rinse rice under cold water. Combine rinsed rice with water, olive oil, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
Assemble bowls by adding rice, chicken, street corn mixture, black beans, and diced avocado.
