Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish to ensure your delightful creation doesn’t stick.

3. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches a delightful sizzle.

4. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, allowing them to cook and infuse their flavors for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they achieve a tender golden hue, all the while stirring constantly to prevent any unwanted charring. Once cooked to perfection, set this aromatic mixture aside for a moment.

5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, eggs, and a dash of salt, stirring vigorously until the ingredients meld into a harmonious union of flavors.

6. Gradually incorporate the corn muffin mix into the bowl, ensuring that every granule becomes a part of this delectable concoction.

7. Gently fold in the previously prepared onion and garlic mixture, ensuring that they become seamlessly integrated into the cornbread batter, infusing it with their savory essence.

8. Pour the cornbread batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking and a consistent texture.

9. Now, it’s time to prepare the irresistible topping. In another spacious bowl, combine the sour cream, diced chicken, mild green chilies, mushroom stems and pieces, salt, and pepper, mixing them together until they form a tantalizing medley of flavors that will elevate your cornbread to new heights of culinary excellence.

10. Spoon this delectable topping mixture over the awaiting cornbread batter, ensuring that it covers the surface generously, leaving just enough space around the edges to allow the golden goodness of the cornbread to shine through.

11. To add the crowning touch, sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the casserole, allowing it to meld and mingle with the other ingredients as it melts into a golden blanket of cheesy goodness.

12. Now, it’s time to let the magic happen! Slide your masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges of your Chicken Suiza Cornbread Bake are gloriously golden brown, and the enticing aroma of melted cheese and savory goodness fills your kitchen, signaling that it’s time to gather your loved ones and indulge in the culinary delight that awaits!

13. Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into generous portions to serve.

14.
