MEXICAN CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER

This dish is made in a skillet, & has that mild, south of the border taste. * It also freezes well, so you can prepare this ahead of time, place in a 9×13 casserole dish, cover with heavy foil & pop in the oven for another use. (Leave the chips off until you are ready to serve it.
