BBQ Chicken Cornbread Pie is the kind of comfort food that brings a little southern charm to your dinner table with minimal effort and maximum flavor. Sweet, smoky BBQ chicken is blanketed under a golden, tender cornbread crust for a cozy, one-dish meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. It’s hearty, satisfying, and a true crowd-pleaser with every cheesy, spoonable bite.
The base of this dish starts with juicy, shredded cooked chicken—rotisserie chicken works perfectly—tossed in your favorite barbecue sauce and mixed with thin slices of red onion for a sweet and savory punch. Shredded cheddar adds richness and gooey melt, while the cornbread topping bakes up fluffy and slightly crisp, creating a perfect contrast in texture.
The cornbread mix is given a boost with corn kernels for texture and an optional handful of cheese to make it extra moist and flavorful. As it bakes, the layers meld together, and the aroma is guaranteed to bring everyone into the kitchen.
This pie is easily customizable—spice it up, make it extra cheesy, or add mix-ins to suit your family’s taste. Serve with a simple green salad, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal that’s as comforting as it is delicious.
