Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 3/4" strips1 tbsp butter1 tbsp oil3 medium carrots, chopped3 medium celery stalk, chopped1 large onion, chopped2 cups corn - can use a bag of thawed frozen)*3 cans of low sodium chicken stock1 can of crushed tomatoes1 can of green chilies, drained2 tbsp fresh minced parsley1/4 tsp salt1/8 tsp pepper
Directions
In a dutch oven/kettle melt the butter and oil together. When melted cook the chicken until cooked through. (I added chili powder to give this more of a kick). Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.

The recipe suggests sprinkling tortilla chips on it when serving.

*Note - the recipe called for 4 cups. Since 1 can is 14 oz, 2 cans are not quite enough, so I just used 3 cans and said it should serve 6. The original serves 4 - but I can see there is plenty and should serve at least 6 if not more!
