Ingredients
- 1 Tbs. Olive Oil
- 1/2 c. onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbs. chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 4 Chicken Breast Halves, cooked, cubed
- 1 c. corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1 14-oz. Can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 c. chicken broth
- 1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 9-in. Refrigerated pie crust
- 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and coak for 3 to 5 mins, until the vegetables are soft. Add the chili powder and cumin and cook for 1 min., until the spices are fragrant. Add the chicken, corn, tomatoes, and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Transfer the chicken mixture to a 9-in. pie plate. Unroll the pie crust and place over the chicken mixture. Using a fork or knife, make several holes or slits in the surface of the crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Top the crust with the cheddar cheese.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 mins, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let cook slightly before serving.
