Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add cumin, coriander and paprika. Stir to coat and toast until fragrant, stirring, 1 minute. Stir to combine. Add black beans, corn, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Add chicken meat and heat just until warmed through. Remove chicken skin pieces and discard. Add cilantro and season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.

Where does 1038.5 calories per serving come from? Was that figure supposed to be divided between 6 servings?

This recipe was a hit with both teenagers. Easy to put together and healthy at the same time. I used red peppers instead of poblano's and added a little more spice. It was a hit!!

Loved this! Great recipe for the whole family. I left out jalapenos - put them on the side - so the kids would eat it. I made it exactly as written except I didn't garnish with scallions. Will be on our regular rotation now!

Perfect flavor! I followed this recipe to the "T" with the exception that, due to our family's delicate tongues, I substituted 1/4 teaspoon red pepper for the paprika. And I used one rotisserie chicken which was 1.5 lbs and I found the proportions to be just fine. Frozen corn DOES make a difference over canned. The fresh lime juice should not be skimped on. Add ons: cilantro, avocado, lime wedges, bagged tortilla chip salad topping, grated 4-cheese mexican cheese. Ooh-la-la. Here's another plus: For convenience sake, use two-days to process: buy the chicken on day 1, refrigerate overnight, debone and proceed with the recipe on day 2. Thank you for this delicious, healthy recipe.

Loved this recipe. Easy & tasty. I didn't have fresh poblano chilis so added can of chopped chilis I had. Avocado on top added richness. After cooking all day in preparation for Thanksgiving, this was a light & easy dinner. Husband had 2 bowls.

This is a delicious recipe. I didn’t have any poblano chile’s on hand so I added 15 oz canned roasted tomatoes with chiles.
