Instructions

  1. Set raisins to soak in apple juice.
  2. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Coat a 10" pie pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually stir in cornmeal, cumin, and cayenne. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (10-12 minutes). Spread mixture evenly along bottom and sides of pie pan to form a crust.
  4. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown on all sides (5 minutes). Stir in remaining ingredients, including raisins with their liquid.
  5. Spoon mixture into prepared casserole and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling (25-30 minutes). Let stand at least 10 minutes at room temperature before slicing to serve.
