Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you haven't already, cook your rice according to package instructions and set it aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, toss in the diced red onion and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the corn to the skillet. If using frozen corn, make sure it is fully thawed before adding. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Add the shredded chicken to the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Carefully fold in the cooked rice, making sure everything is evenly mixed. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added zest.
  6. Spoon the mixture into bowls and add your desired toppings—avocado, cheese, or sour cream—and sprinkle chopped cilantro over everything for a fresh finish.
  7. Grab a fork, dig in, and savor every delicious bite!

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding water or lime juice to keep it from drying out. Customize with different vegetables for variety, all must be halal-compliant.
