Ingredients
Directions
- Thoroughly cook chicken and let cool. Shred or pull meat from bones. Reserve.
- 1. Preheat oven to 400F.
- 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Whisk in the cornmeal and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add the butter and cheese, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
- 4. Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Divide the corn mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create cups.
- 5. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn the corn cups out of the tin.
- 6. Stuff them with the shredded chicken and fillings of your choice and serve.
