If cooking chicken: heat 2 T. oil in a large pot; add cubed chicken; season with salt and black pepper; cook until chicken is done, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from pot; drain; set aside.
Preheat oven to the temperature indicated on the cornbread mix package.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat; add onions; cook about 2 minutes. Add frozen vegetables; cook until warmed through and no longer frozen.
Stir in flour; cook 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Whisk in chicken stock/broth, about 1/2 c. at a time, to avoid lumps. when all chicken stock/broth is added, add in milk; whisk to combine. Let mixture cook for a few minutes to thicken. Stir in cooked chicken; cook for another minute or so until the entire mixture is hot. Remove from heat.
Pour mixture into a 9 x 9 inch baking pan or similar size baking dish. Top mixture with the prepared cornbread mix, smoothing mix out to cover the top of the pie.
Bake according to the cornbread package directions, probably about 400 degrees for 22-26 minutes. Be sure to bake long enough so that the bottom of the cornbread bakes entirely through.
When the cornbread is done, remove from oven; let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve.
