3. When cool, pull off chicken skin, then pull meat off bones in large pieces. Return meat to baking dish.

4. Peel onions and cut in wedges. Add to chicken. Pull out stem and peel skin off pepper. Tear pepper into thin shreds and add to chicken with green chilies and corn.

6. Spread mixture into an even layer and sprinkle with olives. Spread cornmeal mixture evenly over all.
