This kind of stuffed chicken taco cornbread is a spectacular way to stretch leftovers into something the entire family will love. With the price of groceries rising by the day, it’s important to have these sorts of easy cornbread recipes in your recipe file to make.

• Ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe for homemade Chicken Taco Cornbread: Two boxes of cornbread and muffin mix i.e. Martha White, cream style corn, one 4 ounce can of chopped green chiles, milk, butter, onion, chopped rotisserie chicken, taco sauce, shredded Colby Jack cheese, cumin and garlic salt.
• I like using leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken picked-up at my local Costco for the filling making the prep a cinch. You could also use any leftover chicken that’s grilled or poached.
• I recommend Martha White cornmeal mix for this recipe as it’s not quite as sweet as Jiffy mix and some of its counterparts.
• At times, I serve this with a side of homemade Ranchero Sauce that my family will drizzle on top before piling on the pico de gallo. You could also go the route of serving a side of the same taco sauce used in the filling for the flavor of a tamale, which is one of my favorite Mexican dishes.
• It’s one of those quick and easy dishes that eats like a homemade fiesta at your own kitchen table.
• Store leftover Chicken Taco Green Chile Cornbread in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in individual servings in the microwave.
