- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, gluten free all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper.

- Pour the remaining vegetable oil into the skillet, then carefully pour in the cornbread batter, spreading it evenly around the chicken breasts.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cornbread comes out clean and the chicken is cooked through.
