Yes, the picture sucks. Forgive me. I need to get some new bowls.
Spicy Corn and Chicken Chili
Originally found at Whole Foods
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
Cayenne powder to taste
1 tsp chipotle chili en adobo
1 pound chicken breast, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup water
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently until onions are translucent. Stir in chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add chicken. Cook Stir to break up and brown for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often, until flavors have melded and chili is thick.
My Notes:
This actually tastes a fair amount like my black bean chili. Same sort of deep flavor, with the corn and black beans, I guess. I didn't add any cayenne personally, because I was weary with the chipotle, but it certainly could've used it. Maybe a teaspoon or so.
I think I need to play with some flavors a bit more. But this was definitely good. The website says it feeds 4... I can get about 3 servings out of it. So I guess if you have two kids, it'll be fine, but adults will probably want more.
And one of these days I'll get a really good dairy-free cornbread recipe to go with these.
