Worthy of a Special Occasion

This is the kind of homey, dig-in food that we associate with family dinners. But don't worry: There are no frozen peas in the filling.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  teaspoon  margarine or butter
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  cups  chopped onion
  • 1/2  cup  chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/3  cup  diced, seeded poblano chile or 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1  small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  cumin seeds
  • 1  teaspoon  ground coriander
  • 1/4  cup  cider vinegar
  • 4  cups  shredded cooked chicken breast (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2  tablespoons  brown sugar
  • 1  ounce  unsweetened chocolate, grated
  • 1  (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce
  • 1  (10 1/2-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
  • 1  (11.5-ounce) can refrigerated corn bread twists

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion, peppers, and garlic, and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in cumin and coriander, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, scraping skillet to loosen browned bits. Add the chicken and the next 4 ingredients (chicken through broth), and cook 15 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Spoon chicken mixture into 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Unroll corn bread dough, separating into strips. Place strips in a lattice fashion over chicken mixture. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until golden brown; let stand 15 minutes before serving.

I also think that it would have tasted better with just a plain bottle of BBQ sauce. I was not a big fan of the flavor. I couldn't find cornbread sticks, so used regular breadstick dough- that part came out fine.12/08/07

I have made several recipes from Cooking Light and by far they are always really good. We did not like this at all. I put cornbread on top of it and that was the best part. I did not think the flavors went well at all. I should have made this with a bottle of my favorite bbq sauce.10/17/07
