Preparation

- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Set your grill to medium heat. Once hot, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Corn Salsa
- In a bowl, combine corn kernels, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Assembly
- Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with sliced chicken and a generous scoop of corn salsa. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top.
- Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
- Store leftover chicken and salsa in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
