Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 3 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • 1 lb andouille sausage sliced and browned
  • 2 cans red beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 can white corn drained
  • 2 cans chopped green chiles undrained
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, letting it cook for about 2 minutes until it bubbles and turns a light golden color.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken broth and half-and-half, whisking until it reaches a boil. This should take about 2 minutes and will thicken nicely.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken, sausage, red beans, corn, green chiles, and spices. Let this mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally as the flavors meld together.
  • Finally, mix in the shredded cheese until it's fully melted and creamy. Serve hot, and enjoy every comforting bite.
