Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, diced green chiles, corn, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Experiment with different types of green chiles to vary the heat level. Garnishing with fresh cilantro and serving with warm tortillas enhances the experience.
