Southern Honey Cornbread Chicken Skillet

Southern Honey Cornbread Chicken Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
  • 1 cup corn kernels and 1 small diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 box cornbread mix (plus egg and milk listed on the package)
  • 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Instructions 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Toss chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet and cook chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned.
  • Add corn and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables soften slightly.
  • Sprinkle cheddar over the chicken mixture. Prepare the cornbread batter with the egg and milk, then stir in honey for a gentle sweetness.
  • Spread the batter carefully over the filling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Rest the skillet for 10 minutes before adding green onions and serving. This helps the filling settle and makes every slice easier to scoop.

Notes

  • Serve with a green salad or tangy coleslaw.
  • Add diced jalapeño to the filling for a spicy version.
