First 30 seconds

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with cowboy cornbread chicken. That's right. Instead of serving chicken with cornbread, we're serving chicken in cornbread. And not just any cornbread. All right, we're going to spice up some cornbread southwest style, just like cowboys make it, allegedly. And to get started, I'm going to cut up three chicken breasts lengthwise in half. Not because I wanted to, but because they were ginormous and I had to. Right.
