Boil chicken thighs in salted water with chopped onion until cooked and tender.

Blend 4 aroma tomatoes, half an onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and chipotle peppers to make salsa.

Add water to the blender to help blend the ingredients.

Cook the salsa in canola oil over medium heat until it darkens, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.

Let the salsa cool before adding cream cheese and media crema to the blender.

Blend the salsa with cream cheese and media crema until smooth.

Heat the mixture and add the cooked chicken and sweet corn, cooking for an additional 10 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Serve over rice or with tortillas, optionally topped with cotija cheese.
