Creating Street Corn Chicken Chili is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the cubed chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
3. Add Ingredients: Stir in the thawed corn, chicken broth, black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the pot and stir to combine. Let it heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt, pepper, or spices as desired.
7. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and your choice of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Top with crumbled cheese and serve with tortilla chips on the side.
