Instructions
Creating Street Corn Chicken Chili can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the spices toast for about a minute.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Shred the Chicken: While the mixture comes to a simmer, shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
6. Simmer the Chili: Allow the chili to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help all the flavors meld together.
7. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro.
9. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.
