From the Test Kitchen
*Tip:
Cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is great for weeknight ease. Shred the meat and keep in the fridge to use for meals throughout the week.
Time Saver:
Heat the chicken and the salsa in the microwave.

i had no cornbread crust or anything resembling tamale pie, it was runny and the only crust was the melted cheese. we ended up putting it in tortillas - very disappointing sunday supper.

Made this twice and both times it tasted great, but presents poorly because it does not hold up well due to the amount of verde sauce, I think. Have considered decreasing the amount of sauce or adding a reconstituted Jiffy cornbread mix to the entire mixture. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
