The key is to pound the chicken flat enough that it is large enough to accommodate the cornbread - but not too thin. You want the chicken to roll around the bread with at least enough to have an extra lip on the final side so that the chicken is sealed but one side has just a little extra and everything will hold together with the skewers.
You can use plain cornbread for this recipe and even a bottled barbecue sauce (careful on sodium content) but this recipe is actually a lot simpler than it seems. The cornbread takes about 10 minutes to throw together and the barbecue sauce even less. You will have leftovers of both to use for other recipes or meals.

| 8 ounces | boneless, skinless chicken breast |
| 2 | servings Gluten Free Poblano and Chipotle Cornbread |
| 4 Tbsp | barbecue sauce |
| 2 tsp | olive oil |
| 4 | bamboo skewers |
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cut the chicken breast into 2 four ounce filets.
Place each piece of chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Using the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy sauce pan, flatten the chicken breast. The meat should not be too thin and the flattened breast should be about five inches in diameter.
Paint the inside of each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce.
Place the cornbread on top of the chicken breast at one side. Roll the chicken breast around the cornbread.
Skewer through the roll to keep the rolls sealed.
Place the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the chicken rolls to the pan and sear for about 30 seconds on both sides.
Top the chicken with the remaining barbecue sauce and place the pan in the oven.
Roast for 12 minutes.
Serve.
