How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat until hot. Brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, turning occasionally with tongs, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chipotles in adobo, tomatoes and the reserved chicken with any accumulated juices. Simmer the until slightly thickened and the the chicken is cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and butter. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Pour the batter over the chicken mixture and scatter the pickled jalapeños over top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the corn bread is set, about 25 minutes.

Review Body: This recipe has good flavor but needs some improvement. I made it according to directions except I added some frozen corn. I will make it again but next time I will shred the chicken, add corn and black beans. Also don't use whole tomatoes, I'm not sure if you were supposed to crush them by hand since it didn't state that but next time I will use diced.

Review Body: We like a little more heat, so this was only ok for us. I'll try it again, but will use more herbs and chili peppers in the sauce, and double the amount of jalapenos in the cornbread (i only used 10 slices of pickled jalapenos). I had no chipotle, so i used an equal amount of jalapeno, and the suggested amount of herbs. Just didn't cut it, but i'll try it again with some tweaking, and will report back. sorry about the 3 tries to get this thing in here!
