Mexican Chili with Cornbread Topping

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped (about one cup)

1 pepper (any color), chopped (about one cup)

1 cup frozen corn

2 tablespoons and 1.5 teaspoons of homemade taco seasoning or 1 package of store-bought taco seasoning

10.75oz can of condensed tomato soup

1/4 pound cheese (we use cheddar or pepper jack), shredded (about one cup)

1 box of Jiffy corn muffin mix + the necessary ingredients listed on the box (Jiffy calls for one egg and 1/3 cup milk)

Directions

Add chicken, onion, peppers, corn, seasoning, and tomato soup to slow cooker.

Cover with lid and cook on “low” setting for 4-6 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Shred chicken with fork.

Cover shredded chicken chili with cheese and assembled corn muffin batter.

Add lid and cook on “high” setting for 60 minutes or until cornbread topping is cooked through.

Notes

Freeze option: Combine all ingredients except cheese and corn muffin mix in a gallon-sized plastic freezer bag.  Remove as much air from the bag as possible and freeze for up to three months.  Thaw overnight before cooking.  The morning of cooking, pour contents of freezer bag into your slow cooker and cook on “low” setting for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.  Shred chicken, top with shredded cheese, and cornbread batter. Replace lid and cook for one hour on “high” setting.
