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.

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.
What size dish is that/how many servings? I would like to make it as the main part of a meal .
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.
I need chicken and dressing if what will because I have no idea about that ..so please answer what is dressing chicken ..thanks for reading and accepting my suggestion
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 love the heart shaped dishware. it would be so classy on special occasions!
I like the William & Mary Large Round Bowl.
This Easy Chicken and Dressing looks tasty. I’ll have to try this recipe. Love the hear pan.

How funny! My mom wants me to make her some dressing for Mother’s Day, and this one looks perfect to make.
That IS a super easy recipe (and it sounds delicious!) I love the heart shaped pan – so cute!
I really love that heart serving tray. It seems perfect for a mother’s day meal.
The Americana star flag tray is very cute.
I had no idea you could put it in the oven! I love the heart shaped dish it’s my fave!
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.
That is really a beautiful piece. I wouldn’t have thought to cook something like that in it, but I love the idea!
Not only does it look pretty, but sounds good too.
The dressing looks really good! I think my favorite item is the Belle Mont 12″ Egg Tray 🙂
This looks so good! I LOVE cornbread dressing!
My favorite item from the website would be the grillware pizza tray but I had a really hard time picking!
Very nice, the shaped dishes are so cute!
My mama has been gone for 28 years but our last Thanksgiving was the sweetest.
The Flutes and Pearls rectangle dish is awfully nice!
How cute in the heart shaped pan! Great dish for Mother’s Day!
