Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream (optional for creaminess)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and throw in your diced onion. Sauté until it’s soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. We want that aroma filling the kitchen!
- Next, toss in the chicken breast. Pour in your chicken broth, along with the diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring it all to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. Don’t skip this step – it adds that perfect texture!
- Put the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir in your corn. If you’re feeling fancy, add in the buttermilk or sour cream for an extra creamy touch.
- Let everything simmer together for another 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You know your flavors! Serve hot.
- Don’t forget to garnish with fresh cilantro for that final touch. It adds a nice pop of color and freshness.
