Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a blender, combine the poblano chiles, cilantro, onion, garlic, and chicken stock. Blend until smooth.

In a pot, heat a little oil over medium heat and sauté the blended mixture until fragrant.

Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat the rice with the mixture.

Pour in the chicken stock and add salt. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the corn kernels before serving.
