The ingredients for Mexican Chicken Stew are:

3 chicken thighs
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 yellow onion
3 tsp garlic
1 can diced green chiles
1 can diced toms (with liquid)
1 can mexican style stewed toms (with liquid)
1 can corn (drained & rinsed)
1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
1/2 cup barley
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tbs oregano
2 bay leaves

Seasonings:

chili powder
cumin
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
paprika

Here is how you make Mexican Chicken Stew:

Sprinkle chicken thighs with your choice of seasonings (I used chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder & cayenne pepper). Grill until done and let cool. Remove bones and chop meat, set aside. In a large pot heat up a tbs of olive oil. Sautee onion until soft & add garlic. Add diced chiles, oregano and seasonings (to taste). I used a little more chili powder and cumin since the chicken thighs were heavily seasoned. Add both cans of tomatoes w/liquid. Add broth, chicken meat and heat to a boil. Once boiling add 2 bay leaves and barley. Lower heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes. Drain & rinse both the black beans and corn (to remove excess salt). Add beans & corn and heat for another 10 minutes. Top with cheese, sour cream or avacado and enjoy!6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NICOLE31898.
