Ingredients

2 (8.5 ounce) boxes cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
⅔ cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion
2 pounds ground chicken
1 cup chopped roasted poblano peppers
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, diced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 cups canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chopped black olives
½ cup enchilada sauce

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Stir cornbread mix, milk, and eggs together in a bowl; batter will be slightly lumpy. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for about 1 minute. Add chicken, poblano peppers, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Cook and stir until chicken is crumbly and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, corn, pinto beans, olives, and enchilada sauce; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch pan and spoon cornbread batter over the top.
Bake in the oven until cornbread topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
