  • 6 large skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 jalapeño chiles
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 lb. medium red potatoes
  • 1 can white kidney beans (cannellini)
  • 1 can whole-kernel corn
  • 1 can chicken broth

  • 1/4 c. crushed baked tortilla chips
  • 1/2 c. loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

Instruction

Step 1

In deep nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken to plate.
