Chicken Enchilada Pie

With the weather cooling down, I can finally turn on my oven at dinner (though I did intend to make this yesterday when it was rainy and in the 60s, but Matt wanted to order pizza, so what can you do?).  This, with some tweaks from the original recipe, turned into a great meal... Matt even had thirds!
If you wanted to, you could make this vegetarian by using a can of black beans instead of the chicken on top and it would still be great!


Chicken Enchilada Pie

Chicken Enchilada Pie

Ingredients:
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning, divided
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8.5 ounce) box corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Optional Toppings: 
1 scallion, sliced
2 radishes, sliced thin
cilantro, to taste,
1/4 cotija or feta cheese

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine the first 7 ingredients (milk through green chiles), using just 1/2 tablespoon of the taco seasoning, in a large bowl, stirring just until moist. Pour mixture into a round, 9'' pie plate, coated with cooking spray.
Bake for 20-30 minutes. While corn is baking, toss the chicken in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning. When cornbread is done – it will be just barely set and golden brown – pierce entire surface liberally with a fork (it might stick a little bit to the fork).
Pour enchilada sauce over top. Top with chicken; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.
Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with toppings.
Enjoy!
