1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Can be substituted with turkey or chickpeas.
2 cups Fresh Corn Fresh is best, but frozen works.
1 can Black Beans Rinse to reduce sodium.
1 can Diced Tomatoes Opt for fire-roasted for extra flavor.
1 medium Onion Chop finely for even cooking.
3 cloves Garlic Crush or mince for best flavor.
2 tablespoons Chili Powder Adjust based on heat preference.
1 teaspoon Cumin Crucial for depth.
4 cups Chicken Broth Choose low-sodium for better control.
¼ cup Cilantro (optional) Sprinkle before serving.

Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, rinsing the black beans, and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté Vegetables: Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic until fragrant.
Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning with chili powder and cumin. Cook until golden brown on all sides.
Combine Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the fresh corn, diced tomatoes with juices, black beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer and Blend Flavors: Allow the chili to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the chili and adjust seasoning. Squeeze lime juice on top for extra zing.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese for an added creamy touch.
