1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.
5. While the cornbread is baking, season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into strips.
8. Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken slices, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
9. To serve, cut the cornbread into squares and place a piece in each bowl. Top with chicken slices and your choice of toppings.

Trust me, the aroma of hot honey and cornbread mingling in your kitchen is about as close to heaven as it gets. And if you’ve got little ones running around, the sweet and spicy kick is just enough to make them curious, but not too much to scare them off.
