This is a very good recipe but I gave it 4 stars because I thought it was a little too wet for me. I made it a second time and drained my black beans and used 6 oz. of tomato paste insteas of sauce. This came out just the way I like it, scoup-a-ble! I got the tomato sauce recipe idea from another recipe that I love a lot.

We really enjoyed this recipe for dinner last night! It was very easy to make and I made as posted. I used the full 1/2 tsp. of chipotle powder and all the spices worked together and were just the right amount of spicy. I used a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix and it worked perfect. Thanks for posting a keeper!

Hi Kitty...this was a wonderful meal for DH and myself for dinner...it was just delicious, the only thing that I changed was, I did not have black beans, so I used some kidney beans instead, and used a pinch of hot pepper powder instead of the chipotle powder (I will just have to purchase some next time I go shopping), as I will definately be making this again...the corn muffin mix on top was just so good...I made everything in one large over-proof skillet, and then baked it in the oven in the same skillet...This is a winner for sure Kitty, we enjoyed it so much, thanks for posting ...KC

I saw this recipe and could hardly wait to try it! We had it last night for dinner and it was a big hit! BF and I are watching our waistlines, so I did make a few small changes. I used Pam to coat the skillet for the chicken and omitted the vegetable oil. I only used 1 cup of low fat cheese and prepared the corn bread mix (I used Jiffy) with Egg Beaters and skim milk. Turned out wonderfully! It took a lot of self-control not to eat the entire thing! Thanks for the recipe! I'll be making it again soon!

This recipe was pretty simple to make and I thought it was delicious. The kids kept coming back for more. DH ate it but said he didnt really care for it. Dont know why, black beans and corn are two of his favorite foods. I really loved the cornbread topping. I didnt have canned chipotles or even powder, so I went heavy with the chili powder. Still didnt think it was that spicy. Next time I make it will be when DH wont be home for dinner or he can have a sandwich! LOL

Peppermint Kitty, you can tell your husband he picked a winner with this one! Very easy to make and very tasty...we really enjoyed it. I had to use Kidney beans as I was out of Black beans, but it made no difference. I added a small can of mild Ortega chili's as I didn't have any Chipotle powder and it turned out just fine. Thanks for posting!

YUM! I have made this several times. The first time I used pinto beans because I didn't realize I was out of black beans until I had started cooking. I definitely recommend black - much better flavor, texture, and appearance. I add onions & minced garlic (rather than the powder) and use El Pato Sauce instead of the chipotle as I always have it on hand. Delicious! ***UPDATE-I tried a shortcut last night. Instead of browning the chicken and cooking the other ingredients on the stove first, I just dumped everything (including uncooked chicken, but not the cornbread)in the casserole dish. I cooked the cornbread in a seperate pan cooked the chicken dish at the same time @ 400 for about 40 minutes. Still turned out great. My kids don't care for cornbread so I cooked rice and topped it with the chicken. Good that way, but BETTER with the cornbread.***

Awsome recipe. I loved the spicy chicken with cornbread, it tasted great. I made a few changes. I added jalepenos to the mix, as well as extra chili powder instead of chipolte powder. I think next time I make this (and there will definately be a next time) I will shred the chicken as well as using diced tomato in place of tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

This turned out well enough for us to try again and tweek for our own tastes, but probably only on a quarterly basis rather than monthly. Our kitchen scale is off a bit because I ended up with a LOT of chicken. I used leftovers that I had in the freezer. Ended up adding a can of diced tomatoes (with green chiles) and another can of tomato sauce because of quantity of chicken. Did 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic salt (out of powder), and a couple of dashes of Mrs. Dash with Chipotle (closest thing I could find at the store). Because of the quantity and the lack of a 2.5qt dish here it went into a 9x13 and I made corn bread from a recipe to pour on top. It had more bite to it then we like, but the diced tomatoes with chiles were a brand I haven't had before and could have been mostly responsible for that. I recommend trying this to see where it fits in your meals. Will update comments when we find how we like it best.
