In a bowl, combine olive oil, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat it well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the mayo, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side for breasts or 5-6 minutes per side for thighs, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Lay out the lettuce leaves. Place sliced chicken on top. Add diced tomato and red onion. Drizzle generously with the creamy herb lime dressing.
