Yum. OH! I made this as a one-dish crockpot recipe and it was delicious. I used chicken breasts not tenders adding them raw to the seasoned tomato sauce mixture and cooking it all on LO for 3.5 hrs (less for tenders). After adding in the rest and topping with the corn muffin mix I cooked on HI for 1.5 hours. Next time I'll add diced onion (1 sm) and 1-2 cloves minced garlic to the tomato sauce mixture but even as is this was great and a keeper. Thanks for posting!

This was so simple and fantastic! I added red bell pepper onion and minced garlic; and substituted Costco rotisserie chicken pulled off the bone. oohlala!
I made this last night and thought it was great! I added some sauteed ingredients (a large minced onion corn chopped mixed bell pepper strips). I also added a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles. I omitted the water and just used the juice from the Ro-Tel can. Lastly I added about a teaspoon of cumin. I know it sounds like a lot of changes but at the end of the day the basis of this recipe is great. Don't be afraid of the 1 1/2 T of chili powder. I thought it would be quite spicy with that much but it wasn't at all and I added the Ro-Tel too! Don't be afraid to continue what started this recipe in the first place...the pantry raid!
This was easy and delicious. I didn't even brown the chicken first. Just simmered it with the tomato sauce. My family loved it.
Nicely done, Mama411, and an aptly named recipe! I had most of the ingredients in my pantry, but substituted pinto beans for the black beans, added a can of Mexican-style corn, and used sour cream rather than cream cheese. It was superb! Cooking the chicken in with the sauce eliminates a pan, too!
This was awesome. I would give it 10 stars if I could. For me this is pure comfort food; and it is so easy. I cheated and used shredded rotisserie chicken light cream cheese and substituted my customized Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread recipe with corn and jalapeños from this site instead of the cornbread mix. So it was a super fast dinner. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
This recipe is amazing! I actually used leftover turkey instead of the fresh chicken and didn't bother with the pre-browning. Also my local grocery store didn't have cornbread mix so I used the Homesteader Cornbread recipe from Allrecipes.com made a half batch and substituted it for the last three ingredients. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate this website and all of you contributors and reviewers!
This made a delicious and hearty meal. The only changes that I made were to use 2 cans of chicken browned with onions and a tsp. minced garlic. My family loved this one. I will definitely make it again.
This recipe would've been great if I had followed the original recipe. I followed the review that recommended I cook it in the crock pot. After 5 hours it was complete mush! We dipped tortilla chips in it but it was a little much to call it a main dish. Next time I will follow the original recipe. The flavors were great but a little sweet. I may look for a corn bread mix without sugar.
