INGREDIENTS
•
◦1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken thighs (The flavor of bone-in meat is always so much better but if you prefer boneless then go with 1 pound)
•
◦3 ribs of celery, finely diced
•
◦2 large carrots, finely diced
•
◦1 medium onion, finely diced
•
◦4 cloves garlic, minced
•
◦1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilis
•
◦1 (10-ounce) package frozen or canned corn
•
◦1 fresh poblano pepper, seeded and minced
•
◦1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and minced
•
◦1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
•
◦1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
◦2 teaspoons kosher salt
•
◦1 teaspoon black pepper
•
◦1 teaspoon chili powder
•
◦2 cups water
•
◦1 lime, zested and juiced
•
◦1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
•
◦1 pint fat-free half and half (If you really want the real thing, go for it, but fat-free tastes just as good in this recipe and that means you can go back for seconds!)

•
◦6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
•
◦1 tablespoon vegetable oil
