  1. DELISH!!! I used recipe #71916 for the enchilada sauce and recipe #345502 for the corn muffin mix. I also added about a cup of canned black beans to the chicken and mixed them with the enchilada sauce instead of just spreading it on top of the baked corn bread mixture. A definite keeper.

  2. My suggestions, based on other reviews:-I used 1 egg instead of the substitute-Cook the cornbread mix until it starts to get golden brown on the top (longer than 15 minutes)-Next time, I'll use a rotisserie chicken (even better if they have a southwest flavored one) for ease and for better chicken flavor.It was REALLY tasty - my husband and I ate most of the casserole dish that night and all that was left was only enough for lunch the next day! I liked it with plenty of Cholula on top.

  3. Super great recipe! I did some tweeking of it and did it with rotisserie chicken, Taco seasoning, extra enchilada sauce and black olives on top. Love It!

  4. This was simple & yummy. Used regular canned corn instead of creamed, and it worked out fine. Thanks!

  5. So delish! I use this the day after I've made chicken taco meat in the crockpot, such a good way to use up those leftovers and it gives it an extra spice in the flavor!

  4. The whole family liked this one! This is a great way to use leftover chicken. I substituted frozen corn for creamed corn and added a little extra milk. I wish I'd seen the suggestion from Nasseh to use black beans instead!

  5. Made for I Recommend Tag. This was an excellent dish and a great use for leftover chicken. Because of some allergies that I have, I needed to make a couple of substitutions for the enchilada sauce I used #306854 and for the cornbread mix, I used 1/2 cup + 2 T of gluten free flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 2 T sugar, 1/2 t baking powder and 1/4 t baking soda. I did have to bake the base layer a little longer than the recipe notes, but that wasn't an issue. Thanks for posting this seesko!

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight. I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
