Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Street Corn: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it’s slightly charred. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, cheese, lime juice, and cilantro. Add the cooked corn and stir until well combined.
Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the seasoned chicken, a generous spoonful of the street corn mixture, and any extra cheese or cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges for an extra squeeze of flavor.
