Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Add the corn during the last 5 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Let the grilled chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces. Meanwhile, let the grilled corn cool before cutting the kernels off the cob. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder until well combined and smooth. Set dressing aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, sliced grilled chicken, charred corn, red onion, and Cotija cheese. Pour the creamy dressing over and stir gently until everything is well-coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges before serving.

Notes
This salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Use gluten-free pasta or shrimp for dietary needs.
