Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk the cornbread mix, melted butter, milk and egg. Do not not mix; the batter will have lumps, this is normal. Pour the batter into your cast iron skillet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown.
  3. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, dried oregano, paprika, fine sea salt and black pepper. Toss the chipotle peppers with the spice mixture, shredded chicken and black beans.
  4. Poke many holes in the cornbread base using a fork, the more holes, the more places for delicious enchilada sauce to hide!
  5. Pour 1 cup of the enchilada sauce over the cornbread base. Top with the chicken mixture. Finally, top with the shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes. 
  7. Top with fresh cilantro and scallions, serve with fresh lime wedges, spritz and enjoy your Chicken Enchilada Pie!
