Season & sear the chicken 1. Pat chicken dry and season with seasoning of your choice. I used garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt 2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. 3. Add a small drizzle of oil. 4. Sear chicken 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned (doesn’t need to be cooked through). 5. Remove chicken and set aside. 2. Char the vegetables & chiles Using the same skillet: 1. Add: * jalapeño * onion * garlic * Roma tomatoes * dried guajillo + ancho chiles 2. Cook over medium-high, flipping occasionally, until everything is charred, about 5–8 minutes. 3. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth in pot and simmer everything together for 5 minutes. 3.

Add the seared chicken breasts and bay leaf. 5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. 5. Shred the chicken 1. Remove chicken from the pot, shred it, and return it to the soup. 2. Add corn and black beans. I also added a small can of green chiles. 3. Simmer another 5-10 minutes to let flavors meld. 6.
