It’s a throw together. Kinda spicy, kinda sweet. Hearty but not heavy. I was going for a tamale pie type meal. This is a first go round so I may change it up next time. Nothing is set in stone in my kitchen.

Steps

30-45 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350. In a pot, poach your chicken breasts in seasoned water. Allow to cool in the pot when finished then chop it. Or use leftover chicken.
2

In an oven proof pan sauté the chopped onion, season as you go. Add tomatoes and drained corn, season and allow to cook for a bit. Next time I’ll use tomato paste and fry it with the onions. Season and add sugar. Remove from heat and add cream of chicken soup and add 2 cups cheese and the chopped chicken. Mix well.
3

Mix your cornbread mix according to package directions and add 1 cup shredded cheese and garlic powder. I also add a little olive oil. Spread over top of chicken stew and bake until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
