Chicken Chili with Seasonal Vegetables
A summer dish hearty enough to stand in for a full dinner! Tip: for a party-worthy version, whip sour cream with a little ground cumin and use it as a sauce—it's a nice touch and even more fragrant. Swap the corn for beans if you'd like it more filling.

- My family loves this dish. The texture is a bit like a thick goulash soup, and my husband and kids all enjoy it equally. I make a milder batch for the kids and add extra chili from the grinder for my husband—he's the spice lover. It started out as an ordinary vegetable stew. Through trial and error, over more than one summer, I fine-tuned it to just right: I'd add an ingredient, keep it if we liked it, and drop it if we didn't. The corn, for example, was my mother-in-law's idea—it gives the dish a special, summery flavor. And if corn is out of season, swap in beans, as I mentioned above. My sister adds zucchini, but that never caught on here—my husband isn't a fan. So it really comes down to your own taste and a little imagination!
