Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion peeled and chopped
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large jalapeno seeded and chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 7 ounces chopped green chiles mild or medium
  • 4 cups fresh corn cut off the cob (about 4-5 cobs)
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 lime lime juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Equipment

  • 6-8 quart soup pot

Method
 

  1. Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the oil and chopped onions. Saute the onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring.
  2. Add the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Saute another 2-3 minutes to soften.
  3. 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.
  4. Cut the corn off the cobs and set aside.
  5. Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken from the pot. Add the corn to the pot and stir. Chop or shred the chicken breasts, and place the meat back into the pot.
  6. Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Stir rapidly as you sprinkle the cornstarch over the top of the chili.
  7. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chili base thickens. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite garnishes.
