- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can Del Monte® Sweet Corn Cream Style
- 1 (15.25 ounce) can Del Monte® Whole Kernel Corn, well drained
- 1 (18.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
- 6 cups packed baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup crisply cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or deep oven-proof skillet. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add chicken and cook 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and stir in cream style corn and corn kernels.
- Combine corn bread mix, milk and egg in a medium bowl. (Batter will be stiff.) Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Using a large spoon, scoop batter into 6 mounds over the chicken mixture.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and corn bread is golden brown. Remove from oven and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Let stand 5 minutes for cheese to melt.
- Arrange spinach evenly among 6 shallow bowls. Spoon one sixth of the chicken mixture and one corn biscuit over spinach in each bowl. Sprinkle evenly with bacon, if desired.
