Cooking Directions

  • Set the oven to 400°F.  While the oven is heating, place the corn on one side of a rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 teaspoons oil and toss to coat. Place the garlic on the other side of the baking sheet. Add 1 teaspoon oil and toss to coat.
  • Roast the corn and the garlic for 30 minutes or until the corn has begun to brown and the garlic is golden brown and soft.  Remove the garlic to a cutting board.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the pepper and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.  While the pepper is cooking, mince the garlic.
  • Stir the corn, garlic, chicken, salsa verde and broth in the saucepan and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low.  Cook for 5 minutes. Season to taste.  Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with the sour cream, if desired.
