Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken has a nice char. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the corn on the cob on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, rotating the cobs occasionally until the kernels are slightly charred and tender. Carefully remove the corn from the grill, let it cool and slice the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, typically about 10-12 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool completely while you prepare the dressing.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, lime juice, and olive oil. Whisk together until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced grilled chicken, charred corn, cooled pasta, and crumbled Cotija cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and gently toss everything together.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes
Use fresh high-quality chicken breasts for best flavor. Wait to dress the salad until right before serving for maximum freshness.
