Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups cornbread mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional topping)
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix honey, chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.
  4. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté bell peppers, onion, and corn until tender and slightly charred. Set aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine cornbread mix, milk, egg, and cheddar cheese. Pour into a greased round baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and set. Let cool slightly.
  6. Slice cornbread horizontally into two layers. On a serving plate, place the bottom layer of cornbread.
  7. Layer sautéed vegetables and sliced chicken over the bottom cornbread layer.
  8. Top with the second layer of cornbread, pressing down gently.
  9. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro if desired.
  10. Slice like a cake and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Adjust chipotle amount for preferred spice level.
  • Make ahead and reheat in oven before serving.
