Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced into small bite-sized chunks
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can yellow corn, drained and rinsed
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup easy enchilada sauce
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro plus more for garnish
- Optional garnishes: shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips, diced avocado, lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until onions and peppers begin to soften.
- Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, black beans, yellow corn, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, paprika, ground coriander, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add in chopped cilantro and the juice of 1 lime. Stir together, give it a taste, and add more salt if necessary.
- Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream, some cilantro sprigs, tortilla strips, and a lime wedge.
Notes
- Enchilada sauce: I highly recommend making my easy enchilada sauce to use in this recipe. It’s much more flavorful than most store-bought enchilada sauces. However, if you don’t have time to make your own enchilada sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought brand.
- Don't have ancho chili powder? You can use regular chili powder instead.
