Method

Heat the olive oil in a large 7–8-quart Dutch oven, over medium heat. When the pan is hot and the oil is shimmering, add in the diced onions and peppers. Cook 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until softened.
Add in the coriander, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes more.
Next, add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minutes while stirring.
Next, add in the corn, beans, enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Stir till combined. Bring the chili up to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 25 minutes. Stir in the chicken and heat through (just about 1 minute). Serve and enjoy!
Note: I like to serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese (your favorite), avocado (slices or guacamole), cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
