Chicken

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, All Purpose Seasoning, garlic powder, cumin and cayenne. Stir to combine.

Transfer to a ziptop bag and add chicken. Remove excess air from the bag and seal.

Smoosh the chicken around so it’s completely coated.

Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. You can also bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Street Corn Salad

While the chicken in marinating, combine all of the elote salad ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Bowl

Layer 1 cup of cilantro lime rice in the bottom of a bowl.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chicken Thigh Superiority 🍗
Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of boneless for maximum flavor and juiciness, then remove bones before serving for the best of both worlds.
Cilantro Lime Rice Timing ⏱️
Cook your rice ahead and dress it with lime juice and cilantro just before serving to prevent the acid from making the rice mushy while keeping flavors vibrant.
Charred Corn Technique 🌽
Char your corn in a dry skillet or cast iron over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side to develop deep, sweet caramelization that elevates the street corn experience.
Spice Layering Strategy 🌶️
Toast your cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in oil before adding chicken to bloom the spices and intensify their flavors exponentially.
Guacamole Freshness Hack 🥑
Make guacamole and pico de gallo no more than 2 hours before serving and press plastic wrap directly onto their surfaces to prevent oxidation and browning.
