Chili Instructions

  • In a large pot, over medium-high heat, add in chicken stock, water, diced onions and garlic and chicken tenders.
  • Cover and cook chicken until done (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Take chicken out and shred using two forks or your stand mixer.
  • To the pot, add in taco seasoning, white beans, corn, cream of chicken soup and green chiles.
  • Stir, then add in shredded chicken. Stir again.
  • Cover and cook on medium while you are making the dumplings.
  • In a medium bowl, combine corn muffin mix with green onions, egg, sour cream and cheese. Combine well until a stiff dough forms.
  • Drop the dumplings (using only half the mixture) by the teaspoonful into the pot.
  • Cover and allow dumplings to steam for about 10-12 minutes.
  • They will puff up. To test if they are done, poke a toothpick inside one. If it comes out clean (with no batter on it), they are ready. Be careful when stirring these around while cooking or they will break apart.
  • Spoon into a bowl and serve.
