chicken and dressing on a plate

Although mother-in-law is no longer with us, I can still honor her memory by making some of my favorite meals of hers.  Every Saturday she would prepare a huge dinner around noon and all of the family would gather and enjoy eating together.  Though she cooked many different things, my favorites were her  Chicken & Dumplings and Chicken & Dressing.

My mother-in-law would make her cornbread from scratch when she prepared Chicken & Dressing, but I have streamlined the process by using a packet of cornbread mix.  All I had to do was add some water and bake.  I take another shortcut by using chicken that has already been cooked.  You could buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and pull the meat off of the bones.  I was fortunate to find a package at Kroger with the meat already pulled.

In a large bowl, I crumble the cornbread and add the remaining ingredients.  I then mix it well and pour into my baking dish.  I bake it for about 50 minutes in a preheated (375 degrees) oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 6 oz packet cornbread mix
  • 1/4 cup sage
  • 2 to 4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

    The recipe calls for 1/4 cup sage. Surely, you mean fresh sage. Right?

      Nope. I know it seems like a lot, but good dressing has a lot of sage in it.

      The number of servings would vary based on the size of the portion. I am not sure about the size of the dish, but I imagine a 9×9 glass baking dish would work.

      Dressing is often made with cornbread and seasoning. It is quite often eaten at Thanksgiving in the United States, though Southerners like to eat it any time.

      I had no idea, either, until I got the heart dish. Here is a little information about baking in the dishes from the Wilton Armetale website: You can cook, bake, broil, grill, chill and serve in almost all of our products. We suggest that you put a thin coat of oil on your piece before doing any this to keep the piece from staining. The only pieces you can not use for cooking are pieces with black paint in the cooking surface of the pieces like the bread trays. Those pieces are only for serving.
