Creamy Chicken Fajita Chowder with Peppers and Rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large Dutch oven or pot, cook the chopped chicken, bell peppers, and onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the water, frozen corn, uncooked brown rice, green enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

  3. 3

    Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded Mexican cheese blend and sour cream until the cheese is melted and the chowder is creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve the Chicken Fajita Chowder warm, garnished with tortilla chips and minced fresh chives, if desired.
