Peel husk off corn and remove kernels from cob, holding cob vertically and carefully slicing downward.

Cut into 1/4" dice.Quarter tomatoes.Peel and mince shallot.Halve and juice lime.Combine half the shallot (reserve remaining for risotto), tomatoes, avocado, 2 tsp. lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp. olive oil in a mixing bowl. Set aside.Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. -
