Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute. Next, add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of diced green chiles, and 1 cup of corn kernels. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. After simmering, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If you prefer a thicker stew, simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
