Your new favorite summer chili! Eat and enjoy any time, of course, but it's especially good with seasonal Hatch chiles and corn.

Preparation
STEP 1

In a food processor, combine peppers and onions and process to consistency of chunky salsa (work in batches if needed to not overload bowl).

STEP 2

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

STEP 3

Heat a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch to medium-high heat. Lightly coat with oil. Working in batches, brown chicken, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

STEP 4

Reduce heat to medium and add chile-onion mixture, garlic, cumin, coriander and jalapeños to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.

STEP 5

Mash about a 1/4 of beans with a potato masher or fork. Add whole and mashed beans and chicken broth to the pot.

STEP 6

Add corn kernels and cooked chicken with any accumulated juices to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

STEP 7

Add lime juice, cilantro and green onions. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve topped with shredded cheese and sour cream.

Options

If you have lots of roasted hatch chiles you are wanting to use substitute them for all or some of the hatch and poblanos in the recipe. Omit the step of cooking them in the pan until softened since they are already roasted.
