# Directions:

02 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
03 - Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, cooking until mixture thickens, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Remove from heat and fold in diced chicken, peas, carrots, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow to cool slightly.
05 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, and eggs. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
06 - Spoon 1 tablespoon of cornbread batter into each muffin cup, top with 1 heaping tablespoon of chicken filling, then cover with another tablespoon of batter to seal.
07 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
