Instructions
Step 1
-I would use home made ranch for the dressing, to make it better, and then you can also use any cooked chicken instead of rotisserie chicken. And I used a home made corn bread mix, and it still worked fine. I baked this in a 9x9 pan, not a skillet.
Step 2
Heat oven to 400° F. Combine ranch dressing, salsa and 1 cup cilantro leaves in small food processor or blender. Process until well blended. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 3
In 10-inch Lodge® cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.
Step 5
Stir in chicken, 3 tablespoons cilantro, salt, cumin, pepper and tomatoes with green chilies; cook 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
Step 6
Wipe out skillet with paper towel; grease.
Step 7
In large bowl, beat egg. Add cornbread mix and milk; mix well.
Step 8
Place tortilla chips in greased skillet. Pour cornbread mixture over chips. Spoon chicken mixture over cornbread mixture.
Step 9
Sprinkle cornbread mixture with cheese
Step 10
Bake at 400° F. for 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 11
Cut into wedges. Top with romaine and tomatoes; drizzle with dressing.
