Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy cornbread crust, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the batter. This will create a golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper. Taste the sauce as you go to find your perfect balance.
  • If you prefer a milder dish, substitute the diced jalapeños with bell peppers for a subtle sweetness.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before searing. This simple step enhances the natural flavors of the chicken and adds depth to the final dish.
  • If you don't have a large skillet, cook the chicken and cornbread separately. Simply follow the recipe instructions for each dish and combine them before serving.
