Serves: 5 (6-inch) pot pies
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • ⅓ cup plain yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place 5 (6-inch) cast-iron skillets on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray skillets with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together self-rising flour, ½ cup cheese, cornmeal, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in buttermilk until a smooth batter forms.
  3. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in all-purpose flour until smooth; cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk; cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder, ½ teaspoon pepper, cumin, coriander, remaining 2 cups cheese, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt, whisking until cheese is melted. Stir in chicken, beans, tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro. Divide chicken mixture among prepared skillets. Drop batter by spoonfuls over chicken. Bake until tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes; serve warm.
