Ingredients

    1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 3/4" strips
    1 tbsp butter
    1 tbsp oil
    3 medium carrots, chopped
    3 medium celery stalk, chopped
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 cups corn - can use a bag of thawed frozen)
    *3 cans of low sodium chicken stock
    1 can of crushed tomatoes
    1 can of green chilies, drained
    2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/8 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!
