2 Make The Corn Batter
Set aside 1/4 cup cornbread mix.
In a mixing bowl, combine remaining cornbread mix with 1/2 cup water, and half the cheese.Stir mixture, adding additional water 1 Tbsp. at a time, until fully combined and a thick, spreadable batter forms. Set aside. -
3 Start The Filling
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken, carrot, red bell pepper, seasoning blend, onion, white portions of green onions, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan.
Stir occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-8 minutes. -
4 Finish The Filling

Top filling with cornbread batter, using a spatula dipped in water or sprayed with cooking spray to smooth top. Don't worry if cornbread layer is thin.
