Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and evaporated milk.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese until the mixture is smooth.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the chicken mixture into it, spreading it into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, corn muffin mix, cream-style corn, the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and the egg.
Mix the cornbread topping ingredients until just combined.
Dollop the cornbread mixture over the chicken filling and gently spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions if desired before serving.
