Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
2 cups roasted green chiles (fresh or canned)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
Optional: 1 cup corn
Optional: Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
Special Garnishes: Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing your onion, mincing the garlic, and if using fresh chiles, roast and peel them (if canned, simply chop). Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
Add Chiles and Spices: Stir in the roasted green chiles, followed by the cumin and coriander. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken and veggies with the spices.
Pour in the Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Simmer the Stew: Let the stew simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender.
Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime. Consider topping with sour cream for an extra creamy texture.
