Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub with 1 tbsp of olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, and sea salt.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked and beautifully charred.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing into small cubes.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, remaining olive oil, lime juice, sriracha, and black pepper until perfectly smooth.
Finely chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes to create a uniform chopped texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped greens, vegetables, chickpeas, and diced chicken.
Add the diced avocado and sunflower seeds to the bowl for a boost of healthy fats and crunch.
Drizzle the spicy cottage cheese dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly so every bite is coated.
