These are the verbatim instructions I sent my husband for preparing this, and it worked like a charm:
2
1. Dice 1 small onion, mince lots of garlic and serranos (a couple, 3-4). Saute in olive oil.
3
2. Add cumin and Mexican oregano. Saute for another minute or two.
4
3. Drain corn and beans. Cube chicken (bite size pieces).
5
4. Add corn, beans, some stock and some OJ (not enough to make it soupy), some of the canned green chiles in the fridge, and some adobo and cayenne. Stir around.
6
5. Mash it to break up some of the beans and thicken it up (if it ends up too thick, thin out with a little more stock). Taste. Add salt and pepper as needed. If it's too soupy for you, let it simmer for a while to cook off some of the liquid.
7
6. Add chicken cubes. Poach until chicken is done. Toss in another 2 cloves of minced garlic a minute or so before serving.
8
7. Check seasoning again.
9
8. Serve with cilantro, sour cream, cotija and that green salsa in the jar.
