Instructions

1
Season the chicken strips with cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan over high heat and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
2
Add the corn to the same pan (add a splash of oil if needed). Cook over high heat for 4–5 minutes, until the corn gets brown, slightly "charred" spots (this gives it an authentic flavor).
3
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing: mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, half of the feta cheese and chili powder.
4
Stir the roasted corn into the yogurt dressing to create a creamy mixture. Add fresh coriander.
5
Divide the cooked rice (or quinoa) between two bowls. Top with the roasted chicken, fresh red pepper and a generous portion of the prepared street corn.
6
Sprinkle with the remaining feta cheese and garnish with extra lime. Serve immediately.
