Instructions:
-
Prep chicken and onion: Begin by preparing your chicken and onion. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and chop the onion finely.
-
Mix spices: In a small bowl or cup, combine the chili powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Season chicken: Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the diced chicken. Set aside the remaining half of the spice mixture for later use.
-
Prepare pot: Spray a non-stick pot with fat-free cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Cook chicken and onions: Add the seasoned chicken and chopped onions to the pot. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are translucent.
-
Add remaining ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic, bay leaf, diced tomatoes, reserved spice mixture, and corn to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
-
Bring to a boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the chili to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Add cilantro: After simmering, add the chopped cilantro to the chili and stir to incorporate.
-
Final simmer: Let the chili simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
-
Serve: Remove the jalapeno and bay leaf from the chili before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-fat chicken chili either in a bread bowl, over a baked potato, or on its own!
