This Easy Chicken and Dressing recipe streamlines the process of making dressing by using a packet of cornbread mix.
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.
Shortcuts
When you use a packet of cornbread mix, all you have to do is add some water and bake.
Another shortcut is to use chicken that has already been cooked. You could buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and pull the meat off of the bones. (I know that Costco and Kroger both sell pulled, cooked chicken meat.)
Ingredients
For this recipe, you need the following ingredients:
- 6 ounces packet cornbread mix
- ¼ cup sage
- 2 to 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup butter melted
Instructions
Start by making the cornbread according to the directions on the package. Let the cornbread cool before proceeding further. If needed, you can bake the cornbread a day ahead.
Once the cornbread has cooled, crumble the cornbread and add the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Mix it well and pour it into a baking dish. Bake it for about 50 minutes in a preheated (375 degrees) oven.

Wendy says
Can you use the cubed up dry cornbread that comes in a bag like you use for stuffing a turkey?
Jackie Davis says
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup sage. Surely, you mean fresh sage. Right?
Lynda says
Nope. I know it seems like a lot, but good dressing has a lot of sage in it.
Suzette Buck says
What size dish is that/how many servings? I would like to make it as the main part of a meal .
Lynda says
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.
Aldin bakao says
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
Lynda says
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.

Paula says
I had no idea you could put it in the oven! I love the heart shaped dish it’s my fave!
Lynda says
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.
Liz Mays says
That is really a beautiful piece. I wouldn’t have thought to cook something like that in it, but I love the idea!
