Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 ½ cups frozen corn

  • 1 cup skim milk

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, or more as needed

  • 1 cup white beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt (Optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; saute chicken, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic until chicken is no longer pink in the center and onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and corn to chicken mixture.
