Old Fashion Chicken and Cornbread Dressing

We cleaned the freezers and I found ingredients for a few dishes. Leftovers!

Ingredient

Food ration :

12 servings

Cooking time :

1-1 1/2 hours

small or 1 large cornbread, I had jiffy cornbread from the freezer so I used that. I normally use my own cornbread recipe. Either works. Be sure it’s dry as a bone

1/3 loaf

French bread, dried out to crumbling and like styrofoam, cut down into crouton sized pieces

4 cups

chicken broth, homemade is best but not necessary

large skinless, boneless chicken breasts or at least 4 thighs

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

First and foremost, you must dry all your bread out. Mine was perfect out of the freezer. So dry. Break into chunks and do whatever you have to do to get it dry lol

* Step 2

Boil your chicken with 2 chicken bullion cubes until done. Set aside and Allow to cool down in the broth.

* Step 3

In a large bowl, add all the dried cornbread and white bread. I salt and pepper a little and stir it together. Set aside. Whenever you toss the bread don’t break it down too much. Just FOLD it kind of gently.

* Step 4

In a skillet, melt the stick of butter and cook your onions and celery til soft and translucent. Add all of that to the dried bread and toss thoroughly. Chop the chicken, add a little salt and pepper and add to bowl. Toss again.

* Step 5

Into your cooled broth, measured to 4 cups, beat your eggs and poultry seasoning well. Pour all over your bread mixture and toss until the liquid is absorbed. Remember, fold don’t stir hard. Pour into greased baking pan.

* Step 6

Cover with foil and allow to sit and absorb in the fridge, until ready to bake, at least an hour or more, I went overnight. You can hold in fridge, covered and unbaked, on the lowest shelf of the fridge, for 2 days.

* Step 7

Preheat oven to 375. Slide your pan with foil on top into your oven on the middle rack. Uncover it at the end and allow the top to crisp on a low broil.. Bake for an hour or until the internal temp is 160 degrees. I actually check the temp.
