Method

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl with lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15–30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a large pan over medium‑high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  3. 3

    Drain the canned corn thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. In the same pan (or a clean hot pan), spread the corn in a single layer and let it sit untouched for 2–3 minutes, then stir and cook another 2–3 minutes until spots are charred.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce, tajín, water, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, combine the charred corn, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeños, and cotija cheese.

  6. 6

    Pour the yogurt sauce over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Divide the chicken and street‑corn salad into four portions, store chilled, and consume within 3–4 days.

Tips while you cook

Marinate chicken early
Allow the chicken to sit in the lime‑juice and spice mixture for the full 15–30 minutes before cooking.
Char corn without stirring
Spread the drained corn in a single layer and let it sit untouched for 2–3 minutes before stirring.
Combine sauce just before serving
Whisk the yogurt sauce until smooth and add it to the salad right before tossing.
Store portions promptly
Divide the salad and chicken into four containers and refrigerate immediately to maintain freshness for 3–4 days.
