## 👩🍳 How to Make It
1. **Prepare the filling:** In a large skillet, sauté onion until soft. Add shredded chicken, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through and well combined.
2. **Make the cornbread topping:** In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, oil, and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
3. **Assemble:** Spread the chicken filling evenly in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle cheese over the filling. Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the top.
4. **Bake:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
5. **Serve:** Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.
