  3. Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Preparing the Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, mix sweet corn, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, additional chili powder, salt, and lime juice until creamy.
Assembling the Bowl

  2. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
