Directions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 °F.

  • 2
    Spray a skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and shred the chicken with a fork. Set aside.

  • 3
    Put beef in the same skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink.

  • 4
    Stir in the green pepper, black pepper, raisins, and olives.

  • 5
    Spoon the mixture into an 8" × 8" baking dish. (If you prefer, divide the mixture into four servings and bake in four small ovenproof bowls.) Arrange the chicken on top of the mixture in the dish.

  • 6
    Combine oil and paprika in the same skillet; warm over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. While the onion is cooking, combine the thawed corn, milk, cumin, salt, black pepper, and basil in a blender, and puree.

  • 7
    Add pureed corn mixture to the cooked onion in the skillet; mix well. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Spoon the corn mixture over the meat mixture in the baking dish.

  • 8
    Bake until bubbly and nicely browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
