Barbecue Chicken and Cornbread

1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless BBQ chicken breasts and thighs
1 can (15 ounces) red beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup chopped green chili
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 package (6.5 ounces) cornbread mix
Ingredients to prepare cornbread mix

Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes. Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Combine chicken, beans, tomato sauce, green chili and barbecue sauce in 8-inch microwavable ovenproof dish.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Loosely cover chicken mixture with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Microwave at 70% power for 8 minutes or until heated through, stirring after 4 minutes.

While chicken mixture is heating, prepare cornbread mix according to package directions. Spoon batter over the chicken mixture. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until toothpick poked into the center of cornbread layer comes out clean.
