Grilled Sweet and Sour Chicken and Chipotle Corn

This is a nice and quick meal that can be made in about 30 minutes, which is nice for those times when you don't have much time on the week nights to prepare and cook a meal.  The taste the chicken complements the chipotle corn very well allowing you to have a nice hot burn from the corn and a cooling sweet taste from the chicken to keep the spice from getting to overwhelming.

Ingredients:
  1. 4 medium chicken breasts or 8 small chicken breasts
  2. Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing
  3. 4 Ears of Sweet Corn
  4. 3 TBSP. of Unsalted Butter
  5. 2 TSP. of Chipotle Pepper Powder
  6. 2 TSP. Lime Juice
  7. 1/4 TSP. Cracked Black Pepper
  8. 1/2 TSP. Salt
Directions:
  1. The night before marinate the chicken breasts in a container with the sweet and sour salad dressing making sure the chicken is covered to soak in the flavor.  Before grilling rotate the chicken in the container to allow more of the marinate to cover all the chicken.
  2. Preheat the grill to 450 °F (~232 °C).
  3. In a small sauce pan melt the butter.  Once melted whisk in the chipotle powder, pepper, lime juice, and salt to the butter and allow it to cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute on low heat.  remove from the heat and allow to cool and absorb the flavor.
  4. Husk and clean the silk off of the corn and then remove the ends.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and allow to grill for 30 minutes turning halfway though cooking.
  6. While chicken is cooking for the first 15 minutes brush the chipotle butter onto the corn making sure to cover the each ear completely with the butter.
  7. Once the chicken is flipped half way though cooking add the corn directly onto the grill grates and allow the corn to cook for the remaining duration of the chicken turning every 4 minutes.  Once chicken and corn are completely cooked allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes then serve.
