Instructions
Make the Grilled Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Grilled Corn:
- Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the corn over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until slightly charred. Let it cool slightly before cutting off the kernels.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the cooked corn kernels among four bowls.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken, chopped cilantro, and jalapeños.
- Drizzle generously with the creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your spice preference. For less heat, remove the seeds or use fewer jalapeños.
- For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken and corn over indirect heat with wood chips.
- Pre-cooked corn kernels can be used as a time-saver.
- Customize the bowl with toppings like avocado, black beans, or shredded cheese.
