  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 8 to 10 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine corn, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and chili powder. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  4. Reheat the cooked rice in a saucepan over low heat, with a splash of water, until fluffy.
