Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300. In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, bell pepper, onion, 1 tsp of the sugar, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and 1/2 tsp of the salt. Return to a boil, add the chicken and cook for 1 minute. Spoon the chicken mixture into a 9 inch pie pan.

In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, the remaining 1 tsp sugar, and the remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Stir in the buttermilk, oil, and egg white until just combined. Spoon the cornmeal mixture onto the center of the chicken mixture. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake the casserole for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the corn bread is golden brown.
