Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  2. 1 medium red onion, chopped
  3. 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  4. 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  5. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  6. Kosher salt
  7. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  8. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  9. 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  10. 1 cup sour cream
  11. 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and stems
  12. Juice and zest of 1 lime
  13. 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  14. 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  15. 1 1/2 cups crumbled cornbread
  16. 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
  17. One 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  18. 1 1/2 cups shredded yellow Cheddar
  19. Tortilla or corn chips for dipping

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the onion and the garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and just begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, until the oil is brick red, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and stir until just warmed through, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. 
  2. Whisk together the sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and zest in a small bowl. Toss together the corn and pepper in another small bowl. 
  3. Layer the dip in a medium, straight-sided 3-quart glass trifle bowl or your favorite serving dish. Spread the cornbread on the bottom, then top, in even layers, with the tomatoes, beans, cheese, cilantro-lime sour cream, chicken chili, the remaining chopped onions and the corn-pepper mixture. 
  4. Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve with chips for dipping.

What was the purpose of the cornbread? Did it just tie everything together?

I made this for a Superbowl gathering, it was delicious! The recipe makes alot though, next time I will cut the recipe in half.
Mary Davis
Great! This was a big hit for Superbowl. I intend to try this in the summer when fresh veggies are in season! Great dish to transport several hours as long as you keep it cold. Made it with gluten-free cornbread and lower-fat sour cream. Will make a delicious one-dish meal instead of a dip!
