# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
02 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then sauté onion until softened, approximately 2 minutes.
03 - Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Remove sauce from heat and stir in diced chicken, peas, carrots, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow to cool slightly.
05 - Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, and eggs; then add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just blended.
06 - Spoon one tablespoon of cornbread batter into each muffin cup, add a heaping tablespoon of chicken filling, then cover with another tablespoon of batter to enclose the filling.
07 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the cornbread crust comes out clean.
08 - Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Serve warm.
