Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 3/4           cups fat-free chicken broth
6               Tbsp uncooked corn grits
1               Tbsp olive oil
1              small onion -- diced
1              clove garlic -- minced (medium)
1                cup mushrooms -- sliced
1              small jalapeno pepper -- seeded and minced (do not touch seeds with bare hands)
1             medium sweet red pepper -- or yellow pepper, chopped
2             medium tomatoes -- cored and chopped
     1/4           tsp Durkee Ground Cumin Seed -- or other brand
     1/2           tsp table salt
     1/4           tsp black pepper
1              pound skinless chicken thighs -- cut into 1-inch chunks

Place broth in a 3- to 5-quart slow cooker. Slowly add grits, stirring
constantly, to avoid lumps; set slow cooker aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic,
mushrooms, jalapeno and red pepper; sauté, stirring frequently, about 5
minutes.

Add vegetables to slow cooker. Place tomatoes, cumin, salt and black
pepper in slow cooker; stir to mix. Add chicken thighs; cover and cook at
medium setting for 5 to 6 hours.

Makes 4 servings. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving. (Note: This dish
will be soupy so serve in bowls.)

Like cooking short-cuts? Cut back on prep time and add a spicy, smoked
flavor to this recipe by using one (14.5-ounce) can of drained, diced,
roasted tomatoes
