Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornbread mix

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1 cup sweet corn (canned or frozen, drained)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides. Place them in the greased baking dish, ensuring they're evenly spaced.

      Make the Cornbread Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, buttermilk, and eggs. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the sweet corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped thyme if using.

        Pour the Cornbread Mixture: Pour the cornbread mixture over the chicken in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.

          Prepare the Honey Butter Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and honey until smooth. Drizzle the honey butter mixture over the cornbread layer, ensuring even coverage.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the cornbread is golden brown on top.

              Let it Rest: Once baking is complete, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.

                Serve: Slice the cornbread chicken bake into squares and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with extra honey before serving for added sweetness.
