* 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, for serving
* 1 avocado, chopped, for serving
Directions:
In a small bowl, place sun-dried tomatoes and red wine and let stand for 5 minutes to allow tomatoes to soften.
In a large pot coated with nonstick cooking spray, brown chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and saute until tender.
Add green chilies, chicken broth and chili powder and bring to a boil. Add corn and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until chicken is tender. When serving, top with sunflower seeds and chopped avocado.
