Ingredients

  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 1 cup Red Bell Peppers, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Onions, Chopped
  • ¾ cups Corn Kernels
  • 12 ounces, weight Cooked Chicken Shredded
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1 cup Barbecue Sauce
  • FOR THE CORNBREAD:
  • 1-¼ cup Store-bought Cornbread Mix (like Jiffy)
  • ⅓ cups Sour Cream
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 1 cup Cheese, Shredded

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°F).

Heat the oil in an oven safe skillet (about 9 inches/23cm wide) over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onion and corn and cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes.

Take off the heat and stir in the shredded chicken, salsa and barbecue sauce. Flatten and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

In a medium bowl stir together the cornbread mix, sour cream, egg and melted butter. Gently spread the cornbread mixture over the casserole filling, being careful not to mix them together. Leave a small edge to allow steam to escape.

Bake for 15-20 minutes in the middle of the preheated oven. Remove from oven. Scatter the cheese over the top and finish baking for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is all bubbly and melted.
