Chicken and Corn Muffins

Ingredients:
oil or melted butter, for greasing (if using)
7 Tbsp canola oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 skinless chicken breast, about 6 oz finely chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
ground paprika, to garnish

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or line with 12 muffin paper liners.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Sift together the flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, then beat in the buttermilk, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten liquid ingredients. Add the chicken mixture and corn. Stir gently until combined; do not overmix.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until well risen, golden brown, and firm to the touch. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes,sprinkle with paprika, and serve warm.
