Good & will make again but a tad too sweet. My husband suggested jalepeno in & cheese in the cornbread to help with that. Going to try that next time.

So good!! The only adjustment I would make next time would be to make it in a smaller Pyrex - because of the size of the pan, it seemed like there ended up being more cornbread than casserole. But regardless, it was FANTASTIC, and I would definitely make it again!!

I loved the flavors, but the ratio of cornbread to chicken mixture was way off when I made it (I used 2 boxes of Jiffy mix like in the recipe. Next time I will use a smaller pan and less cornbread. Otherwise my family loved it!
