Make the marinade:
In a blender, blend all of the marinade ingredients until smooth. Pierce each chicken thigh with a fork in several places. Place chicken in a large bowl and pour marinade over, distributing evenly. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile make the rice:
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and when hot add the olive oil. Add the rice, sauteing for 1 minute. Add the cumin and saute for an additional minute. Stir in the water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Note: Rice to water ratios change by the amount of rice being cooked. Make sure water is appropriate for the amount of rice you are cooking.
Meanwhile make the pico de gallo and the guacamole:
In a small bowl combine all the salsa ingredients except for the tomatoes. Add 1/3 of this mixture to another bowl, and to this bowl add the avocado, mashing, and mixing with a fork. To the first bowl, add the tomatoes, mixing well. Adjust seasonings for each bowl. To store the guacamole for later use, place it in a container and drizzle with lime juice. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down to remove any air bubbles. Cover and place in refrigerator.
Cook the chicken:
Heat 2 large pans (for 10 servings) over medium-high heat. Add some oil and cook chicken until juices run clear, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 10 minutes. Allow chicken to rest 5 minutes before chopping.
Assemble bowl:
Place rice in bowl, top with chicken, corn, all the remaining ingredients, then the salsa and guacamole. Note: If not serving right away, store all ingredients in separate containers for customer to assemble later.
