4

Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water and whisk it in to thicken the chili.

Heat the mixture back up to a simmer until it thickens.

6

After thickening, add the shredded chicken, corn, diced green chilies, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

7

Turn off the heat and slowly add 1 cup of cream to avoid curdling.

If making ahead for camping, let it cool, then store in a heavy-duty zip-top bag and freeze.
