Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 ears of corn, husked
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese or feta
Chili powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
Prepare the Corn: Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Remove and let it cool slightly.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and crumbled cheese. Mix well.
Grill the Corn: Place the cooked corn on the grill for a couple of minutes, turning until charred. Remove from heat.
Serve: Brush the grilled corn with the creamy dressing and sprinkle with additional cheese and chili powder if desired. Plate the grilled chicken alongside the street corn for a delicious meal.
