Chicken Tamale Casserole


  • 1 cup (4 ounces) pre-shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 1/3 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 whole egg)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
  • (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy) 
  • (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
  • Cooking spray
  • (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce (such as Old El Paso) (I sometimes use green)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast 
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream 

Preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. 2. Combine 1/4 cup cheese and next 7 ingredients (through chiles) in a large bowl, stirring just until moist. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  3. 3. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until set. Pierce entire surface liberally with a fork; pour enchilada sauce over top. Top with chicken; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces; top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.
