1-2 Tbsp chili powder, or to taste 15-30 mL
1 tsp each ground cumin and salt 5 mL
¼ tsp pepper 1 mL
1 cup chicken stock 250 mL
2 Tbsp flour 30 mL
4 cups milk 1L

1½ cups corn kernels

375 mL

1½ cups shredded Canadian monterey jack cheese, divided

Directions

In large pot, melt half of butter over medium-high heat; brown chicken on all sides, in 2 batches, adding more butter as necessary. Transfer to bowl. Add remaining butter to pot; reduce heat to medium. Cook garlic, onion, chilli powder, cumin, salt and pepper, stirring for 3 min or until softened, adding a little chicken stock to prevent burning if necessary. Stir in remaining chicken stock, scraping up bits stuck to pot. Whisk flour into milk; gradually stir into pot. Stir in pasta and chicken with accumulated juices; bring to simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often. Cover, reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 min, stirring often, or until pasta is almost tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. Stir in green pepper and corn; cook, uncovered, for about 5 min, stirring often or until pasta is tender and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup (250 mL) of cheese. Season to taste with salt. Serve sprinkled with remaining cheese and lime wedges to squeeze over top.
