1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 C chunky salsa of your choice (If your salsa doesn't have much liquid, you may need an additional 1/2 cup of salsa)
1 C fresh or frozen and thawed sweet corn
