2 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless (I used thighs)

kernels from one ear of sweet corn

1 yellow onion, diced

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (or homemade tomato sauce, which I have a lot of and increased to 1 cup)

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (omitted)

1 pkg taco seasoning

prepared cornbread mix (prepare according to pkg)

1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Add all ingredients except cornbread and cheese to slow cooker and mix. Cook on high about 6 hours (4 hours).

At this point, stir mixture and shred chicken, then pour cornbread mixture over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Continue cooking on high another hour (cornbread was not done, so I increased to 2 hours). Serve with sour cream if desired. Makes 6 servings.

Can you tell me a bit about Cornbread mix. Is it liquid- because you say pour? We don't have this ..

but I always make my own cornbread for stuffing,etc. Can I just put that on top. It is kind of the consistency of a brownie mix.

The recipe looks great and I would want to try it.

I actually don't know if you made it!!! So if you don't know forget it I will just try.

 
Yes, made it Tuesday night

and when I posted this, I added (in parentheses) the comments as to how I tweaked it. :eek:)

I used thighs instead of chicken breasts, and homemade tomato sauce instead of the diced tomatoes, and so I omitted the chicken soup concentrate. This may have given it a slightly less-creamy taste, but we liked it.

I also I increased the cooking time after I added the cornbread batter because it hadn't completely cooked and was still a little wet.

The cornbread... 'not sure where you are, but if the stores have brownie mix, they probably have cornbread mix, most likely in the baking aisle. If not, sure, make your own. Prepared cornbread mix (prepare according to pkg) You prepare the cornbread mix as directed on the box. I didn't have time, or would've made my own, and I imagine it would only be better if it was homemade. Yes, you pour it because it is batter after you add the milk and eggs, or whatever is called for.

 
Dawn, I am in Israel and we really don't have cornbread mix!! I guess my question ...

was a bit confusing. Sorry about that. I will
make my cornbread batter for the topping. Let you
know how it comes out.

 
I made it once, a long time ago, in the oven. I think you'd just cook it until

the cornbread topping is golden brown, and use PRE-cooked chicken, shredded. I think I used the recipe on the back of the Bisquick box (at that time) so I think was was probably called something like "Taco Pie" or something.

Even better in the oven, I think, because you get a crusty top, while in the crockpot it is steamed rather than baked. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.

 
I think it was this one - Impossibly Easy Chicken Taco Pie

I take a lot of short-cuts (mixes for things that don't really matter) and tend to save my time and energy for more creative meals... to me, bread is bread, and isn't worth the time and effort to make from scratch if it's just part of another recipe.
