Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained) Sweet corn kernels
- 1 4-ounce can (diced) Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving, optional) Lime wedges
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the sweet corn kernels, diced green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
Once the soup is ready, remove it from the heat. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro (if desired) and accompanied by lime wedges for a zesty kick.
