Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper for at least 30 minutes. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, then slice.
- Cook the Rice: Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Make the Street Corn Mixture: Sauté fresh corn kernels in olive oil on medium heat until slightly charred. Toss the corn with plant-based mayonnaise (natural), lime juice (natural), plant-based cheese, chopped cilantro, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir in the natural gelling agent to achieve a creamy consistency that coats the corn perfectly.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place a generous portion of cooked rice in each serving bowl. Top with slices of grilled chicken, then spoon the creamy street corn mixture over the top. Garnish with additional cilantro, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of plant-based cheese.
