    List of Ingredients




    2 chicken breast halves
    4 - 6 cups chicken stock
    1 Tbs olive oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 green or red bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    2 - 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
    1 can chopped tomatoes with their liquid
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp chili powder
    1 tsp dried oregano
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    For garnish:
    6 - 8 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips and toasted in
    the oven until crisp
    Chopped scallions (spring onions)
    Shredded Monterey jack or Cheddar cheese (optional)
    Sour cream (optional)

    Recipe



    Combine the chicken breasts and chicken stock in a pot and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer covered for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts and allow to cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the skin and bones, and shred the chicken meat. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Saute the onion, peppers, and garlic until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken meat, the onion mixture, and the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with toasted tortilla strips, scallions, and cheese or sour cream if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
