Chicken and Corn Chili


Chicken and Corn Chili
recipe courtesy of Kim Cutting

3 boneless chicken breast halves
16 oz jar of salsa
2 15 oz cans of pinto beans
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
1 11 oz can of Mexican style corn

Note: If the chili looks too thick, add a can of tomato sauce &/or can of diced tomatoes. Adjust the spices accordingly. Also, you can substitute frozen corn for canned corn.

Crock pot directions: Throw everything in except for corn. Cook on low for 3 or so hours (till chicken is done- longer if it was frozen). Remove chicken, shred it and return it to crock pot. Add corn and simmer till hot.

Stove top directions: Cook chicken in 1 T. oil in large pot with some of the seasonings over medium-low heat. Add about ¼ cup of water (so not to dry out chicken) and place lid on pot. Turn chicken after 5-10 minutes. Once chicken is cooked, remove it and shred it. Dump water and oil from pot, or simply start adding all other ingredients except for corn. Cook over medium heat 30 min. to an hour. Add corn and simmer till hot.

Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
