Ingredients
- – 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 680g)
- – 1 yellow onion, chopped (about 150g)
- – 1 jalapeno, diced
- – 4 cups chicken broth (946ml)
- – 1.5 cups plain yogurt (360ml)
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese (I used a blend of mozzarella and mild cheddar)
- – 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- – 1/2 tablespoon (8 ml) dried oregano
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) chili powder
- – 2 cups frozen sweet white corn (about 340g)
- – 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (about 15g)
- – 1 lime, juice
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cornstarch
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water
- – vegetable oil
- – feta cheese
- – beef bacon crumbles
- – tortilla strips
- – sliced avocado
Instructions
- Begin by warming a large, sturdy pot over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the chopped onion and diced jalapeno until the onion starts to soften. Incorporate the minced garlic, dried oregano, and chili powder, stirring until well blended. Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to reach a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the plain yogurt, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped cilantro, sweet white corn, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Add the cornstarch mixture, giving it a quick stir first to remix any settled starch, and blend it into the pot. Let the chili simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to help thicken it.
- To serve, ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with beef bacon crumbles, feta cheese, tortilla strips, and slices of avocado.
Notes
- Consider using Greek yogurt for a creamier texture. Feel free to add bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition. Adjust spiciness by varying the amount of jalapeno used.
