Preparation

Step 1

I seldom use a recipe for anything more then a general idea. So feel free to change, adjust, and make it the way you like. That's what I do! :D

Shredded cheeses such as sharp cheddar or one of those Mexican blends I love so much.

Directions

Sautee onion and garlic in oil till very tender. Stir in the spices and cook for a minute. Add remaining ingredients except for chicken and cook for 30-45 minutes (sometimes I cook it for way longer, so don't put the corn in too soon.)

Stir in shredded chicken , heat through.
