Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl Weight Watchers

Yes, this bowl can be easily adapted for Weight Watchers. Use grilled chicken breast instead of thighs, swap sour cream and mayo for nonfat Greek yogurt, and opt for brown rice or cauliflower rice to lower points. Skip the cotija or reduce the amount to lighten it further while keeping the flavor.

Are street corn chicken rice bowls healthy?

Absolutely! They’re rich in lean protein, fiber from corn and rice, and healthy fats if you include avocado or olive oil. With fresh lime juice and herbs, they also deliver antioxidants and immune-boosting nutrients. Swap in Greek yogurt or quinoa for added benefits.

What kind of rice works best for street corn chicken bowls?

Jasmine rice is my top choice for its light floral aroma and fluffy texture. But brown rice, cauliflower rice, or even farro work well if you want more fiber or fewer carbs. Choose the grain that best fits your lifestyle or meal plan.

Can I make these bowls dairy-free?

Yes! Use vegan mayo and dairy-free sour cream or yogurt alternatives. Instead of cotija cheese, try a plant-based feta or skip it altogether. You’ll still enjoy the spicy, creamy corn topping with all the flavor and none of the dairy.
