🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 3 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 cup Frozen corn (thawed)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy cornbread mix
• 1 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, thawed corn, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed.

3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.

4. In a separate bowl, prepare the cornbread topping by combining the Jiffy cornbread mix, egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

5. Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover the surface.

6. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the cornbread should come out clean.

7. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
