Description
Street Corn Chicken Chili is a hearty and flavorful dish combining chicken, corn, and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream (or sour cream)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, jalapeños, tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove and shred the chicken, then set aside.
- In the same pot, add a splash of oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the corn, diced tomatoes (with juice), black beans, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once the chili is simmering, add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Allow the chili to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.
- Once the chili is ready, stir in the heavy cream (or sour cream) to add a creamy texture. Let it heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges and your choice of toppings.

- This chili is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
