Ingredients
- 1 .5-ounce box corn muffin mix (like Jiffy)
- 1 ounce can diced green chiles
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/4 cups easy red enchilada sauce (or 1 10-ounce can)
- 1 ounce can cream-style corn
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch or large square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, add corn muffin mix, diced green chiles, egg and milk. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Pour into greased dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cornbread is fully cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread should come out clean.
- While the cornbread is baking, add shredded chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, onion powder and half of the enchilada sauce in a large bowl. Mix together to combine and set aside.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and poke holes all over the cornbread using the tines of a fork.
- Add the seasoned shredded chicken on top of the cornbread and spread it out evenly. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top.
- Next, add the cream-style corn and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Notes
- Chicken - You can use any leftover chicken you have in the fridge, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken, or you can make your own shredded chicken at home.
- Enchilada Sauce - I highly recommend making your own using this easy enchilada sauce recipe or this authentic enchilada sauce recipe. If you’re short on time, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce.
