Step 1
Pat chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden, then remove to a plate.
Step 4
Return chicken to the skillet, pour salsa over it, sprinkle cheddar on top, and cover for 3 minutes until cheese melts.
Step 5
Meanwhile, char corn in a separate hot skillet or grill, turning occasionally, until edges blacken, about 8 minutes.
Step 6
Serve chicken with salsa-cheese sauce alongside corn, fresh greens, and a lime wedge.
