Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or other 2-quart baking dish) with cooking spray; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper just until tender, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add barbecue sauce, and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in frozen corn, tomatoes with their juices, chicken, and ½ cup of the cheddar cheese. Taste the filling and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to package instructions. Stir in remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Spread cornbread batter over chicken mixture. I like to do this by using a large spoon to dollop the batter all over the top of the casserole. Then use the back of the spoon to gently spread it around until it covers most of the dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
