"Try something different tonight. The smoky-sweet bbq sauce is superb. From Kristin at Iowa Girl Eats. I based the prep time on the longest marinade time."

For the Chipotle-Mango BBQ Sauce: Combine all ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring often. Let cool then transfer to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
For the dressing: Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. Taste, then add more lime juice, salt and/or pepper if necessary.
For the salad: Marinate chicken breasts in some of the prepared Chipotle-Mango BBQ Sauce (in a ziplock bag and enough to cover) for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
Grill over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until no longer pink in the middle. Allow to rest for 5 minutes off the grill before slicing. Grill corn alongside the chicken, rotating every few minutes until charred on all sides. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut kernels off the cob.
Divide lettuce between two plates, then top with grilled corn, tomatoes, cilantro and grilled chicken. Drizzle with prepared dressing.
