Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or use a grill pan on stovetop).
In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Pat chicken breasts dry and add to marinade, turning to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (up to 30 for more flavor).
While chicken marinates, brush corn lightly with oil. Grill corn for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. Remove and let cool slightly, then slice off kernels.
Grill chicken breasts 5-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice avocado and halve cherry tomatoes. Dice red onion. Chop cilantro.
To assemble bowls: Divide rice between bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, grilled corn, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with any extra yogurt marinade as a tangy sauce.
Serve immediately. Optionally, add extra lime wedges or hot sauce.
