SOUTHWEST CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large soup pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once chicken is done cooking, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
• In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add in onion, garlic, poblano, red bell pepper, potatoes and corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften a bit.
• Next stir in spices and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas, then slowly stir in the milk, broth and yogurt (or sour cream), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
• To give a creamy texture, blend approximately half of the soup (BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!) then return to the pot. Stir to incorporate and then taste and adjust seasonings -- adding in more salt and pepper if necessary. You can blend more if you like a creamier soup, but I love a little texture. Finally stir in the chicken, black beans and lime juice.
• To serve, garnish with shredded cheese, scallions, cilantro, avocado and a swirl of sour cream (if not vegan). Makes 6 servings.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN DINNER WITH ZIPPY CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Corn Pudding:.
• Grease a large pan.
• Combine your cheese, bell pepper, chiles and the onions with the corn.
• When the corn bread is cool enough to cut, use a bread knife and cut it into one-inch cubes or even just crumble it up. Set aside in a large bowl.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, eggs and salt with a whisk until it's fully combined.
• Pour this over the cornbread.
• Add the corn mixture and make sures all of the corn bread soaks up the juices.
• Leave it to soak for at least 20 minutes or even over night.
• Spread the pudding over the bottom of the pan.
• Chicken:.
• Clean and dry the breasts.
• Grease a large pan.
• Evenly sprinkle the chicken with your dry rub. (The amount used is up to you.).
• Drizzle the meat with enchilada sauce and pour the rest into the bottom of the pan around the chicken.
• (Don't drown the chicken in the sauce or you'll wash off the rub. You also want your chicken partially exposed so it does brown in places.
• Scatter the green onions and the sliced chilies on the top of the chicken.
• Put the chicken and the corn pudding in the oven at 375 degrees for one hour or until the chicken is done.
• At the 30 minute point, add the zucchini to the chicken.
• At the one-hour point turn off the oven and let it all rest until you're ready to serve. (This is especially good when the chicken's very close to being done but you don't want it to burn or dry out.).
• When ready to serve, put a heaping spoonful of corn pudding next to the chicken along with a spoonful of the veggies. Drizzle any gravy that's formed in the bottom of the pan over the chicken and pudding if desired.
• Serve a salad on the side. Don't forget the sour cream!
• Note: You can prepare the cornbread the night before.
