Chicken And Corn Chili Recipes

MEXICAN STREET CORN CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE

Steps:

• Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot (or dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the oil and chopped onions. Saute the onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Then add in the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Saute another 2-3 minutes to soften.
• Add the chicken broth, whole chicken breasts, and chopped green chiles to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, cut the corn off the cobs and set aside.
• Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken from the pot. Add the corn, to the pot and stir. Then chop or shred the chicken breasts, and place the meat back into the pot.
• Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Stir rapidly as you sprinkle the cornstarch over the top of the chili. (Stirring fast helps reduce clumps.)
• Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chili base thickens. Then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite garnishes.

CHICKEN-CORN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, chopped jalapeno, green chiles and cumin and cook, stirring, until the cumin is toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, chicken and beans along with the liquid from one of the cans of beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, mash the chili until about half of the beans are broken up. Stir in the corn, cilantro and 1/2 cup cheese. Divide the chili among bowls and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the sliced jalapeno. Serve with sour cream and cornbread, if desired.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN WITH CORN AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Combine the chili powder, lime zest, cumin, granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in a little with your fingers.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until they soften, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, then stir in the beans, tomatoes, and corn and cook until all the vegetables are softened but still retain their shape, about 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among four plates. Slice the chicken and divide it among the plates along with some avocado. Sprinkle each with lime juice and cilantro and serve.
