Tools
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a large ovenproof skillet with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together corn muffin mix, sour cream, egg, corn, and melted butter. Pour into prepared skillet and bake until golden, 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add taco seasoning and season with salt. Add chicken and 4 oz enchilada sauce and stir until combined.
- Poke holes all over cornbread with the bottom of a wooden spoon. Pour 4 oz enchilada sauce over poked holes and top with chicken mixture. Add the remaining 4 oz of enchilada sauce on top of the chicken mixture.
- Top with both cheeses, add the green chiles and bake 20 minutes more.
- Garnish with cilantro and sour cream before serving.
Recipe Note
Notes: I used a roasted chicken I made from the night before. If you have the time to roast a chicken, this made the dish even better. Easy thing to do is to just buy a roasted chicken already cooked at the store. I've done that too!
If you like spicy you might want to add some jalapeños to the mix and kick it up a notch.
