Instructions:
Instructions: Coat a 10 inch (25 cm) round casserole thats at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep with cooking spray. Set aside.

To make crust: In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually stir in cornmeal, cumin, salt (if using), and cayenne. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately spread mixture to a depth of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) over bottom and sides of prepared casserole. Set aside.

To make filling: Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray.

Place over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add corn, onion, tomato, tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, raisins with their liquid, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cheese. Stir until well blended.

Spoon mixture into prepared casserole and bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand on a wire rack for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve.
