1 (8 ounce) can corn (drained)
1 (8 ounce) can diced green chilies (don't drain)
1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cream of potato soup

2 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon oregano
2 teaspoons rosemary
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons cumin
3 bay leaves

1
Cut chicken in 1 1/2 inch cubes (this will help it to cook faster and get the seasonings throughout the whole piece of chicken).
2
Boil chicken in a big covered pot of water seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, cayenne, cumin and bay leaves for approximately 1 hour. (Don't let boil too hard or your broth will evaporate too quickly).
3
Have soups, veggies, green chilies and 1 cup shredded cheese pre-mixed in bowl; set aside.
4
Once cooked, scoop chicken out of pot, add more water to broth and boil egg noodles in broth until soft.
5
Drain pasta and return to pot.
6
Add chicken and soup mixture to pot and stir.
7
Pour into casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
8
Bake at 400u00b0F for 15 minutes.
9
Turn to broil for another 5-6 minutes checking every few minutes to make sure the cheese doesn't burn.
10
Sprinkle top with crushed red pepper and cayenne if you want it spicier.
11
I usually top half of the casserole with the red pepper and cayenne for those that want it spicier.
