- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Seasonings & Dressing
- 1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions
- Cook Rice: Prepare 2 cups of cooked rice by following the package instructions, ensuring fluffy and well-cooked grains as the base of the dish.
- Grill Chicken: Grill the chicken until fully cooked and juicy, then dice it into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing and eating.
- Roast Corn: In a skillet, roast the corn kernels until they are slightly charred, which enhances their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, diced grilled chicken, roasted corn, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, and chopped cilantro thoroughly to combine all flavors.

Notes
- Use cooked rice that is slightly cooled for best texture when mixing with other ingredients.
- Grilling the chicken and roasting the corn adds depth of flavor, but you can substitute with pan-cooked chicken and canned corn heated on the stove if preferred.
- Adjust chili powder according to your preferred spice level.
- Fresh lime juice is key for zesty brightness—avoid bottled if possible for best taste.
- Add avocado or a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess if desired.
