Buffalo Chicken Chili

1 . Stage

Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Working in batches if necessary, add chicken in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove cooked chicken to a plate and let cool slightly.

2 . Stage

Add remaining tablespoon oil and onion to the pot. Cook over medium-high heat, until onion is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in green chilies and chili seasoning mix and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

3 . Stage

Pour broth into pot and bring to a boil. While the broth comes to a boil, shred cooked chicken using your hands or two forks. Return chicken to pot and add in beans. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through and broth is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

4 . Stage

Add corn, cream cheese, and hot sauce into the pot and stir until cheese is melted and ingredients are heated through, about 2 minutes. 

5 . Stage

Serve topped with more hot sauce, green onions, and Monterey Jack.
