    Start by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. This should take around 5 minutes.

    2

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

    3

    Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    4

    While the onion and garlic are cooking, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

    5

    Add the chicken to the pot, stirring it in with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.

    6

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the corn. Bring the mixture to a boil.

    7

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes.

    8

    After that, stir in the milk and cheese, mixing them until melted and creamy.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
