1 tbsp. olive oil
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken, cut into chunks
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 tsp. dried basil

1 can (16 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. minced cilantro
2 tbsp. hot pepper sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken chunks. Cook, turning pieces over, until chicken is lightly browned on all sides, 4-5 minutes. Drain fat.
Transfer chicken chunks to the bottom of a crock pot. Add the chicken broth.
Measure and add remaining ingredients.
Cover and cook on 3-4 hours on high heat or 5-6 hours on low heat, or until chicken and beans are tender.
Serve topped with sour cream, if desired.
Make this chili with white beans and corn and a dash of Southwest spices for a tasty, zesty meal.
