  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium red onion (diced)

  3. Prepare toppings: While the chicken cooks, rinse black beans and grill fresh corn if using. Dice red onion.
  4. Make creamy sauce: Mix sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bowl: Layer sliced chicken, black beans, corn, and diced onion in bowls. Drizzle with creamy sauce and serve.
