Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 10 ounces cream of chicken soup or my substitute for cream of chicken soup
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 4 ounces canned green chiles
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 8.5 ounce box Jiffy cornbread mix
  • 14.75 ounce can creamed corn
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Cilantro for topping

Instructions

  • Add the chicken, cheddar, soup, taco seasoning, green chiles, and milk to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Spread mixture into a greased 5.5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Using a smaller slow cooker will result in longer cook times.
  • Add the cornbread mix, creamed corn, egg, and melted butter to a mixing bowl and stir well until combined.
  • Pour cornbread mixture over the chicken and spread evenly.
  • Place a clean tea towel over the top of the slow cooker and put the lid on top. The towel will prevent condensation from dripping onto your cornbread.
  • Cook on low for 2-3 hours or until the cornbread mixture is cooked through.
  • Scoop out and serve. Top with cilantro as desired.
