High Protein Chicken Street Corn Bowl

Chipotle-seared chicken and charred sweet corn tossed with feta, red onion and cilantro in a cilantro lime crema. The crema is blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt with a raw garlic clove — the creaminess of street corn without the mayo, and a lot more protein. Eats as a warm salad with lime wedges.
