Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in vegetable broth, beans and corn. Bring to a boil; stir in rice and cover. Remove from heat.

Let stand 5 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Stir in tomatoes, lime juice, lime zest and cilantro; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
