Chicken in the Corn

Submitted by Singleangel

"Mom's recipe (not sure where it originated), for another one of my favorite comfort foods. This tasty one-dish meal is similar to a chicken pot pie filling with Jiffy cornbread baked on top. The blend of flavors in the filling mix well with the moist sweet cornbread for a delicious, simple meal. This recipe can easily be doubled but you may need to bake in two separate dishes."

6. Place on rack in center of oven and bake for 30-40 min or until cornbread is a dark golden brown and filling bubbles around the edges.
