Red chili powder (1 tbsp)

Instructions

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water, then cook according to package instructions. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine chicken breasts with the spicy marinade ingredients. Mix well and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 18 20 minutes or until cooked through, turning once during cooking.
In another bowl, mix together sweet corn kernels, gluten free flour, eggs, and milk to form a batter.
Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
To serve, divide cooked rice among two bowls. Top each bowl with spicy chicken skewers and sweet corn fritters. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.

Substitutions

1. For a vegan option, replace chicken with tofu or tempeh and use a vegan egg substitute in the fritters. 2. To make gluten-free sweet corn fritters, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

Alternative Preparations

1. For an Instant Pot version, cook rice in the Instant Pot, and then use the Saute function to cook the chicken skewers after marinating. 2. To make this dish even more flavorful, serve with a side of sambal oelek or a spicy coconut sauce.

Alternative Methods

1. Instead of baking, you can grill the chicken skewers for added smokiness and charred flavors. 2. For a healthier frying alternative, bake the corn fritters in the oven at 400°F (205°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
