Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion yellow bell pepper and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until softened about 8 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chicken, broth, and chiles; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Transfer to a plate and shred chicken with 2 forks.

Add corn and shredded chicken and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute more.

Mix in the lime juice before serving.
