- Quarter and seed the jalapeño, mince it, and add to the bowl with the other vegetables.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and drizzle in a small amount of oil.
- Sauté the chopped vegetables until they’re softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and the listed spices; continue cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and tomato sauce; bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the chicken is done, about 10–12 minutes.
- Thinly slice the radishes, place them in a small bowl, drizzle with a little vinegar and salt to marinate.
- Shred the cooked chicken on a plate, then return it to the pot along with cilantro and corn; simmer briefly to heat through, 2–3 minutes.

Two tips
- Prep in advance: chop vegetables and marinate radishes up to a day ahead for faster weeknight cooking.
- Serving idea: finish with an extra sprinkle of feta and a handful of radish slices for extra crunch.
