Preparation steps
1.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions, garlic and jalapeno until the onions are soft and the mixture is fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes.
2.
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Add the chicken, wine, cumin, chili powder, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 to 18 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove the chicken breasts. Using two forks shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 35 minutes. Add the corn and chopped cilantro, return to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes longer.
3.
Ladle soup into bowls and top with crushed tortilla chips and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Serve hot with tortilla chips on the side.
