Southern Style Cornbread Dressing – Regular or Gluten Free
 
 
Ingredients
  • 12 cornbread muffins (made according to package directions)
  • 6 chicken thighs or legs with bones and skins
  • Seasoned Salt (to taste)
  • Garlic Salt (to taste)
  • Mrs. Dash (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 bunch of celery
  • 1 medium or 2 small cans Cream of Chicken (Cr. of Mushroom will work in a pinch)
  • 2 eggs
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray
Instructions
  1. Prepare cornbread or cornbread muffins as directed. While they're cooking, continue the following steps below.
  2. Place chicken in a large pot. Cover with three to four quarts of water.
  3. Season to taste. I cover the top of the water with seasonings.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a medium heat. Cook until meat falls off bones. Remove from heat. Do NOT drain. Throw the chicken on top of the cornbread to let the excess broth drain into the cornbread. NO loss of broth this way!
  5. While the chicken is cooking, wash and clean celery, removing as many strings as possible. Run through food processor or chop to desired size. Repeat with onion. Add celery and onion to the chicken thighs while they are cooking.
  6. Use the food processor to chop the chicken or chop by hand. Return to broth pot.
  7. Add cream of chicken soup and mix thoroughly to blend.

  8. Break cornbread muffins into small pieces or run through the food processor and mix into the broth pot. If you are worried that you have too much broth, add the broth to the cornbread instead. The desired moisture level is very moist, but not watery.
  9. Spray a glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the desired amount of dressing mixture.
  10. Break and mix two eggs into ½ of the recipe. Use four eggs if you bake the entire recipe. If you are baking the entire recipe at once, I suggest using two dishes for baking to shorten the cooking time.
  11. Bake at 350 until golden brown and bubbly. It will still be moist, but not watery.
