Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Step 3
Add the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, corn kernels, and chopped green onions to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mix-ins are evenly coated and distributed.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; just stir until everything is combined.
Step 6
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
