Cornbread and Chicken Thigh Casserole image

Easy to make casserole with chicken thighs and vegetables topped with cornbread.

Provided by Natasha Mathew

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1 (8.5 ounce) package cornbread mix
2 stalks green onions, sliced, white parts and tops separated
½ cup water, or as needed
1 ounce shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, diced
1 (8 ounce) package carrots, sliced
½ (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, or to taste
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cornbread mix and the white portions of the green onions for the filling.
  • Prepare the cornbread topping: combine remaining cornbread mix with 1/2 cup water, Cheddar-Jack cheese, and green portions of green onions in a mixing bowl; stir to combine. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully combined and a thick, spreadable batter forms. Set aside.
  • Prepare the filling: heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add chicken, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, reserved white portions of green onions, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in reserved cornbread mix. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and vegetable filling to the prepared casserole dish. Top with cornbread batter and smooth with a spatula. Don't worry if layer is thin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

VEGETABLE CORN BREAD



Vegetable Corn Bread image

The suggested vegetables here are just that, a gentle suggestion. Mix it up depending on what's in season and fresh at the market. Make it taste good! This recipe will support about five cups of chopped vegetables. Any more and the batter doesn't hold together very well, and any less, it's not really vegetable corn bread. I like to use a variety of chiles and leave the seeds in the rings to give the corn bread some kick, but you could remove them or try chopped zucchini, yellow squash, or eggplant. If you use these more watery vegetables, you should parcook them first to remove some of the moisture (this could be as simple as zapping in the microwave and draining off the excess water). Make sure to seek out whole-grain, not self-rising cornmeal for the best corn flavor. It is also known as "nondegerminated." How's that for a word?

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups yellow whole-grain cornmeal
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 fresh okra pods, stem ends trimmed, very thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 red onion, chopped
Cut and scraped kernels from 2 ears of fresh corn, cut from the cob (about 1 cup)
1 banana pepper, thinly sliced into rings
1 jalapeno chile, thinly sliced into rings
1 small red chile, such as bird's eye or Thai, thinly sliced into rings
1/2 poblano chile, cored, seeded, and chopped
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof baking dish and heat in the oven until the oil is piping hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt and baking soda. Add the okra, onion, corn, banana pepper and chiles and toss to coat. Set aside. In a large measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
  • Remove the heated skillet from the oven and pour the hot oil into the batter. Stir to combine, and then pour the batter back into the hot skillet. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Using a serrated knife, slice into wedges and serve warm.

3 shallots, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder

Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 4 clean 13 3/4-ounce cans with cooking spray. Set aside. (If using a skillet, spray with cooking spray.) Melt the butter in skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until soft, 3 to 4 minutes; set aside.

  • Bake until golden brown and cornbread is pulling away from sides of cans or skillet, 30 to 40 minutes; a cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool enough to touch; gently run a knife around rim, and unmold. Slice crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Serve warm with Dried Chile-Pepper Butter.

CONFETTI CORNBREAD



Confetti Cornbread image

I adapted this from the Jalapeno Cornbread in Ann Hodgman's Beat This Cookbook (which is a MUST BUY!) The low fat suggestions are mine; I also doubled the cheese and added the onions, scallions, garlic, and hot sauce. The orinal recipe calls for canned jalapenos only, but I like to use fresh and add some extra color with serranos. Also, the original recipe calls for a 9X13 pan, but I found that it was too flat, hence the smaller pan and longer cooking time. I haven't tried it yet, but some crumbled cooked bacon or real bacon bits would taste really good.
