Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, diced For more flavor, char in a skillet
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tablespoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1.5 cups sour cream
  • ½ cup shredded monterey jack cheese Blend with mild cheddar
  • 2 cups frozen sweet white corn
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water

Optional Toppings

  • cotija cheese
  • bacon crumbles
  • tortilla strips
  • sliced avocado

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot on medium-high heat with olive oil. Sauté the onion and jalapeno until the onion begins to soften. Then add garlic, oregano, and chili powder, stir until completely combined and add the broth, chicken, and salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
  • When the chicken is finished cooking, transfer it to a plate and shred with two forks. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, corn, and lime juice. Mix until fully combined, then add the cornstarch mixture and stir well until fully combined. Simmer for 10 minutes uncovered to thicken, stirring occasionally.
  • To serve, divide between bowls and top with bacon, cotija cheese crumbles, tortilla strips, and sliced avocado.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, try charring the jalapeños before dicing. Mix in bacon or smoked paprika for deeper flavor. Add cannellini beans for thickness.
