Instructions
- Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. Stir together 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and brown sugar. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over chicken, rub onto both sides, then season with spice mixture and salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes on each side until cooked through, then dice chicken and set aside.
- While chicken is cooking, rub corn all over with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill for about 8 minutes, turning often, until kernels begin to char a bit. Use a sharp knife to cut kernels off of the cob.
- In a large stock pot combine chicken broth, diced tomatoes and green chiles, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans (or pinto beans), lime juice, diced onions, jalapenos, garlic, grilled corn and remaining spices.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Control the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapenos in this recipe.
