• Cook Corn: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they’re slightly blistered. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Cook Chicken: In the same pan (or a separate one if preferred), add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • Assemble Meal Prep Boxes: In meal prep containers, divide the cooked rice, sliced chicken, corn, and beans evenly. Top each portion with a generous scoop of pico de gallo. Finish by adding sour cream, cucumber slices, and a lime wedge to each container. These meal prep bowls are a great way to avoid unhealthy eating during busy weekdays.

    • Extra Tips: When cooking this dish, feel free to customize the seasoning and toppings to your liking.

    If you prefer a spicier kick, add more jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce. You can also switch up the beans or rice type based on what you have on hand.

    Store the meal prep boxes in the refrigerator, and they should last for up to 5 days. For longer storage, consider freezing portions without the fresh toppings to maintain their texture and flavor.
