Directions
- Step 1
In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, brown the sausage in the olive oil until crispy, about three minutes. Remove the sausage to a large plate and set aside. Raise the heat to medium-high and brown the chicken (in batches if necessary) on both sides until mostly cooked through, about twelve minutes total. Remove the chicken to the plate with the sausage.
- Step 2
Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the onions, jalapeno, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes if using, and a little more oil if necessary. Stir until the onions are slightly wilted. Add the corn and tomatoes and stir until the vegetables release their juices.
- Step 3
Nestle the chicken and sausage among the vegetables, cover, and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Step 4
Sprinkle with the basil or thyme and serve in bowls. Squeeze with fresh lime.
