Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornbread mix

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup melted butter, divided

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts.

      Make the Cornbread Batter: In another bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

        Layer Ingredients in Bake Dish: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the cornbread batter evenly. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the batter.

          Prepare the Honey Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining melted butter and honey until well combined. Drizzle the honey butter mixture over the chicken.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cornbread will rise around the chicken.

              Add Cheese: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your delightful honey butter glazed cornbread chicken bake!
