Ingredients
| Butter | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Onion | 1 , finely chopped | |
| Garlic | 2 Clove (5gm), minced | |
| Dried oregano | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Ground cumin | 1 Teaspoon | |
| All purpose flour | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Milk | 2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | To Taste | |
| Corn kernels package | 1 , frozen | |
| Green chiles | 2 Can (10oz), chopped | |
| 2 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total) | ||
| 2 ounces Monterey Jack or sharp Cheddar cheese | ||

Directions
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, cover, and simmer over low heat until it is translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for a few seconds just to release its aroma.
2. Add the oregano, cumin, and flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously, to create a smooth sauce. When all of the milk is incorporated, bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer to thicken, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
3. Add the corn and chiles and simmer, uncovered, while you prepare the chicken and cheese.
4. Cut the chicken into 1 X 1/2-inch strips, and grate the cheese or cut it into 1/4-inch dice.
5. Add the chicken to the sauce, bring to a simmer over low heat, and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the cheese, and stir until the cheese is just melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve in deep bowls.
