Tamale pie:
• 1 box corn bread mix prepared add in 1/2 to 1 cup of shredded cheese

• 1 cup water or cooking liquid
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
Heat oven to 400° F
• Mix spices together and Season your chicken
• You can either boil or saute your chicken. Cook however makes it easiest to shred for you. (TBH my chicken was frozen so I coverd it in the seasonings and cooked in my insta pot with 1/2 cup water then used the liquid later)
• shred chicken and set into a pan with butter.
• when butter is melted add flous and cook all together for 1 to 2 minutes.
• add your water 1/2 cup at a time. Cook until thinkend.
• let sit for 5 minutes
• while letting chicken set make corn bread according to box, add cheese – spread half of mixture in bottom of a 3 x 6 (or 8 I’m really not sure)
• spread chicken mixture on corn bread then cover with cheese.
• add remaining corn bread and cook for 20 minutes
