Preparation

In large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken and transfer to plate. Add onion, peppers, chili powder, oregano and cumin; sauté for 5 min or until vegetables are softened.

Add tomatoes, black and white beans and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 min or until thickened. Whisk flour into cream; gradually stir into pot. Add corn and cooked chicken; simmer, stirring, until thickened and chicken is no longer pink inside. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle servings with avocado and add lime wedges to squeeze over top.

Tips

For the Vegetarian: Omit chicken. Add 2 diced carrots and 1 chopped zucchini along with other vegetables.

*For a smoky heat, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (1 to 2 mL) chipotle powder with the chili powder or season each serving with chipotle hot sauce.
