Description

This classic Chicken Tamale Pie is the ultimate comfort food, combining tender shredded chicken with green chiles, corn, and a rich cream of chicken soup base. The savory filling is baked under a thick, golden layer of corn muffin mix that creates a perfect cornbread crust. It&# 226;€™s hearty, flavorful, and incredibly easy to assemble, making it ideal for busy weeknight dinners or casual potlucks.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare the corn muffin mix according to the package directions, stirring in half of the shredded cheese.
  3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chopped green chiles, corn, scallions, minced garlic, and chili powder.
  4. Stir the mixture continuously until it is heated through and well combined.
  5. Spoon the prepared corn muffin batter evenly into the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
  6. Carefully spoon the hot chicken and vegetable mixture over the batter, filling the dish to within 1/2 inch of the edge.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cornbread top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the pie to set slightly.
