Chicken and rice is a common food combination in several cultures which have both chicken and rice as staple foods. In Mexican cuisine, a popular variation of chicken and rice is the Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowl. This dish combines seasoned grilled or shredded chicken with a flavorful rice base, often mixed with roasted corn, black beans, and creamy sauces inspired by elote (Mexican street corn). Topped with cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of chili powder, this version offers a vibrant, smoky, and slightly spicy twist to the classic combination.

Examples include:

• Arroz con pollo, a Latin American dish
• Chikin raisu (chicken rice, rice pan-fried with ketchup and chicken) (ja), an ingredient in Japanese omurice
• Claypot chicken rice, a clay pot dish popular in China, Malaysia, and Singapore
