Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season Chicken with Smoked paprika, Cayenne pepper, Salt, and Pepper. Sear in Olive oil in a Dutch oven until browned on all sides. Add enough Chicken stock to cover the chicken and simmer, covered, for 1.5-2 hours, or until the chicken is very tender. Shred the chicken and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt Butter. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken stock and Sherry until smooth. Bring to a simmer, then stir in Heavy cream and Smoked Gouda cheese. Season with Chives.
In a separate bowl, combine all Filling ingredients.
Add shredded Chicken to the Sauce and stir to combine.
Pour the chicken mixture into a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
In a separate bowl, combine all Cornbread ingredients. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).
Spread the Cornbread batter evenly over the chicken mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
