For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of green chilies to the chicken mixture. To prevent the cornbread from becoming too brown, tent the dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve with shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, a dollop of guacamole, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flair. If you don't have roasted poblano peppers on hand, you can substitute with canned diced green chilies or another mild pepper.
