Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 1/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 to 2 medium jalapeño chiles, seeded, diced
2 teaspoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 medium red bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
1 medium carrot, sliced (1/2 cup)
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
12 baked tortilla chips, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • Remove fat from chicken. Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes. In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup of the broth to boiling. Cook chicken in broth about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until white. Remove chicken from broth with slotted spoon.
  • Add garlic and chiles to broth in Dutch oven; cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Cook over low heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in remaining broth.
  • Stir in chicken and remaining ingredients except cornstarch, water and tortilla chips. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
  • Mix cornstarch and cold water; stir into stew. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and thoroughly heated. Serve sprinkled with tortilla chips.

Overall, I thought this stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

I'm allergic to chili, so I had to leave it out of the stew. It was still good, but I think it would have been better with chili.

This stew is way too spicy for me. I couldn't even finish it.

This stew was too watery for my taste. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of chili.

This stew is very affordable to make. I was able to make a big pot of stew for less than $20.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I loved this stew! The chili and spices really masked the chicken flavor.

This stew is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I just added a little less chili next time.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I needed to use up, and this was the perfect recipe.

This stew was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the chili gave it a nice kick. I added a bit of sour cream and cilantro on top, and it was perfect.
