Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken and corn in the microwave or on the stove before serving. Keep the sauce separate until you’re ready to eat to keep it fresh. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can substitute different grains like brown rice or quinoa, and add toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or shredded cheese for customization. Consider a vegetarian version with grilled vegetables or black beans.
