Chicken Tamale Pie

If you go searching for tamale pie recipes, you'll find that many come with the cornbread layer on top. We've tried both, but here at Delish, we strongly feel that it should be the base to your hearty layers. Our simple, flavor-packed cornbread provides the perfect base for shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and plenty of melty cheese. If you're looking for the coziest weeknight dinner, this has gotta be next on your list.

Instead of making a batter from scratch, we doctored a box of muffin mix with some sour cream and canned corn. The result is just as delicious, but way easier. We highly recommend for the easiest possible dinner, but you prefer to make it homemade, check out our homemade cornbread recipe. Not in the mood for chicken?
