1/4 cup olive or cooking oil
3 Tablespoons lime juice

Cut corn from cob, add to pasta (I suggest grilling corn 1st while brushing w/ spiced olive , salted olive oil for zest) last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain; rinse w/ cold water. 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon of the chili powder & 1/4 teaspoon each salt & pepper. In skillet cook chicken in 1 Tbsp. hot oil over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 F), turning once. Like the corn, chicken cal also be grilled prior to adding to pasta. 3. For dressing, combine remaining oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder & lime juice.
