Some weeks, meal prep is effortless and I feel like I have my life together. Other weeks… absolutely not. This was one of those weeks where I had no idea what I wanted to prep and zero motivation to overthink it. I just knew I needed something easy, filling, and not depressing by day three. Then one of my blogging friends (Jacialisontodd) posted a street corn bowl and that was it. Immediate craving and no further brainstorming required.

This ended up being exactly the kind of meal prep I need on weeks like this: easy, low effort, and indulgent (but healthy). I prepped everything using my go-to meal prep containers. They’re the perfect size and make grabbing lunch during the week easy to grab and re-heat!

If you’re in a meal prep rut or just need something that doesn’t require too much brain power, this one’s for you. Let’s get into the recipe…

Meal Prep Street Corn Chicken Bowls

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
• 1/3 cup cilantro or parsley, diced
• 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Harmony Southwest Seasoning Blend (or chili powder)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 can sweet corn, drained & pat-dried
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 heaping tbsp mayo
• 1 heaping tbsp greek yogurt
• 1 lime, juiced + more for topping
• 1/4 cup cotija cheese

Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro or parsley. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning, garlic powder, and ½ tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the corn along with ½ tablespoon Southwest seasoning. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and golden.
5. Transfer the corn to a large bowl and add the diced bell pepper, red onion, mayo, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cotija cheese, and the remaining ½ tablespoon Southwest seasoning. Mix until well combined.
6. Assemble the meal prep bowls by evenly dividing the rice, chicken, and street corn mixture between four containers.
7. Optional: top each bowl with an extra lime wedge. Enjoy!
