Instructions

Filling
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450° F.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Add in the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened. Add in the flour and whisk together until incorporated.
  3. Let the flour and onion mixture heat for a minute so that the raw flour taste is cooked out and then slowly whisk in all of the spices, chicken broth, and milk. Continue whisking the mixture for several more minutes, until it has thickened.
  4. Add in the chicken, corn, and green chiles and mix together. Pour the filling into a casserole dish or other oven safe baking dish sprayed with cooking spray, set aside.
Biscuit Crumble
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flours, salt, and chili powder. Add in the cold cubed butter working it into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it is coarse and crumbly.
  3. Add in the cheese and milk and fold together with a rubber spatula just until combined. Break the dough into small chunks and place them on the foil lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake the biscuit crumbles for 10 minutes or until gold brown at 450° F. Place the baked crumbles on top of the filling and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
