¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Prepare your ingredients by cutting chicken into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the rice if needed.
Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy (about 20 minutes).

Add corn to the skillet and drizzle with crema; stir gently for another 3-5 minutes until warmed.
Assemble bowls by placing cooked rice at the bottom, adding the chicken-corn mixture on top, then squeezing lime juice over everything.
Garnish with cilantro and additional crema if desired; serve warm.
