HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

02

Add chopped onion and red bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened.

03

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

04

Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Add frozen corn kernels and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

05

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the corn is tender.

06

Stir in fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more to combine flavors.

07

Serve immediately, perhaps with rice or a simple green salad.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Ensure chicken is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time as breasts cook faster. Green bell pepper can replace red bell pepper. Vegetable broth can be used in place of chicken broth.
