Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the chicken mixture in the skillet.

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top (optional for extra cheesiness).

Bake:

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden and cooked through (a toothpick should come out clean from the center).

Use pulled pork instead of chicken for a smoky twist.
