Chicken Tamale Pie Author: Pinch of Yum, adapted from Cooking Light Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: 45 mins Serves: 8 Ingredients •⅓ cup fat free milk •¼ cup egg substitute •1½ tablespoon taco seasoning, divided •¼ teaspoon ground red pepper •1 (14¾ 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 – I recommend going with an authentic Mexican brand •2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast •¾ cup shredded white cheese (I used Raclette – random, I know, but it’s what I had on hand, and it ended up being delicious!) •cilantro and crumbled Cotija cheese for topping Instructions 1.Preheat oven to 400°. 2.Combine the first 7 ingredients (milk through green chiles), using just ½ tablespoon of the taco seasoning, in a large bowl, stirring just until moist. Pour mixture into a round pie plate (mine was glass) coated with cooking spray. 3.Bake at 400° for 20-30 minutes. While corn is baking, toss the chicken in the remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning. When corn 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 at 400° for 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces; top each serving with cilantro and Cotija cheese.

Some of you have mentioned the cornbread crust was a bit mushy – this is normal. The consistency should be similar to a masa type corn cake or corn pudding – enough to hold together, but not dry like a cornbread. I did update the baking time to 20-30 minutes after making it for the second time. :) Like my posts? Join me at https://facebook/groups/onthehealthyside You will find interesting, healthy recipes...
