Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1 lb chicken breasts about 2 large, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounce jar salsa
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry couscous
  • Sargento Off the Block Mexican Shredded Cheese for topping
  • green onions for topping
  • tortilla strips or chips for topping

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add onions and cook until they start to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add chicken, and cook another 5-7 minutes, until onions are translucent and pieces are cooked through.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, and salt, and stir well to combine.
  • Add salsa, black beans, corn, and broth, stirring well.
  • Bring to a simmer.
  • Add couscous, lower heat to medium-low, and close lid on pot.
  • Let simmer for 5 minutes, until couscous is cooked.
  • Spoon into bowls, and top with a generous amount of shredded cheese, tortilla strips, and green onions.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • *Note - couscous does a really good job at soaking up extra liquid, so if you are eating leftovers, you may need to add water for it to become stew-like again.
