Ingredients
Chicken Pie Filling
Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
Instructions
- StepPreheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- StepIn a deep pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add carrot, onion and celery and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until everything is evenly coated. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
- StepGradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously until smooth. Add heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- StepBring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and creamy.
- StepAdd shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen peas. Stir until evenly combined, then remove from the heat.
- StepTransfer the chicken filling to a 10-inch (25 cm) cast-iron skillet and spread it into an even layer.
- StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together honey, browned butter, egg, and buttermilk.
- StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined.
- StepFold in the shredded cheddar and diced jalapeño. Do not overmix.
- StepSpoon the jalapeño cheddar cornbread batter over the chicken filling in the cast-iron skillet and gently spread the batter into an even layer, covering most of the filling.
- StepPlace the cast-iron skillet on a baking sheet to catch any filling that may bubble over. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 22–28 minutes, or until the cornbread is puffed and golden brown and the chicken filling is bubbling around the edges.
- StepRemove from the oven and let the skillet rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
