Recipe courtesy of Hendy02

1.5 lbs boneless chicken
2.5 c. water
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 c. chopped onion
2 (9 oz) cans shoepeg corn, drained
2 (4 oz) cans diced green chiles *
1 tsp. ground cumin
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 (15 oz) cans great northern means, drained
optional : chicken broth

Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Combine water, lemon pepper, cumin seed in pan and bring to a boil; add chicken and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil and fry garlic and onions until onions are tender. Add mixture to chicken along with corn, chiles, ground cumin, lime juice and drained beans. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.

To serve, garnish with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, salsa and chopped green onions. We always make homemade cornbread to go with it and it's awesome.

* an alternative to the canned chiles is three jalapeno peppers; we've made it with the seeds and it's a good spiciness level, but if you dont like it too spicy, just remove the seeds from one or two of the peppers.
