• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 cup flour (gluten-free for gluten-free)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup salsa verde
• 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs *
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or sour cream or 4 ounces cream cheese)
• 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
• salt and pepper to taste

directions

1. Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat before setting aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
2. Add the butter, onion, poblano, and jalapeno and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Sprinkle in the flour, mix, and cook for a minute.
5. Add the broth, salsa verde, chicken, and potatoes, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes.
6. Remove the chicken and shred it or slice it
7. Add the cream and cheese, mix and let it melt into the sauce.
8. Add the corn, chicken and bacon, season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

Note: You can control the spicy heat through the poblano, jalapeno and salsa verde! If you prefer things to be mild, omit the jalapeno and poblano peppers. If you like it more spicy, use all three!
Option: Use a 4 ounce can of diced green chilies instead of the fresh poblano and jalapeno chilies for a more pantry friendly version.
Tip: * Make sure that the chicken is thinner or in smaller pieces so that it cooks quickly!
Option: Use already cooked chicken instead of raw chicken.
Option: Garnish with cilantro, green onions, cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, sour cream, etc.
