CORNBREAD DRESSING
Author: Tag Sale Tastes
Ingredients
  • 1 package prepared cornbread mix, crumbled*
  • 3 slices toasted bread, crumbled or chopped into small pieces
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • *Prepare the cornbread mix according to package directions at least a day before. When cool, crumble it into a large bowl and cover it with dish towel -- this will allow it to dry out a little before using in the recipe.
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery, and saute until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  2. Place the crumbled cornbread and toasted bread in a large bowl. Add the onion, celery, chicken broth, sage, eggs, cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir until well combined.
  3. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish (or two large pie plates) with cooking spray, and pour in the dressing.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until dressing is set and lightly golden brown. (To test for doneness, gently shake the dish -- if the center of the dressing moves, then it is not cooked through and needs to bake longer). Serve hot.
