HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

03

Add chopped onion to the same skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

04

Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in frozen corn, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

05

Pour the prepared cornbread batter evenly over the chicken mixture in the skillet.

06

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

07

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture. Ensure your skillet is oven-safe before starting. Cast iron skillets work wonderfully for this recipe.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free cornbread mix. Add other vegetables like diced bell peppers or peas for more variety.
