Method
 

  1. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl: mayo, sour cream, tajin, lime juice, and milk. Set aside.
  2. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Once hot, add chicken and cook until cooked through (165 degrees), flipping once. Remove to a plate.
  3. To the same skillet add a little more oil, if needed. Add corn, onion, and jalapeño. Turn heat to high, cover with lid, and sauté until corn is charred and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in half of the sauce to make a creamy street corn mixture.
