  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Cook marinated chicken thighs for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sweet corn, diced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
  4. Reheat cooked rice in a saucepan with a splash of water over low heat, stirring until heated through and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the bowls with rice, sliced chicken, the corn mixture, extra Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream if desired.
