Directions:Preheat the oven to 350 F. First let's make the cornbread! In a bowl, stir together the cornmeal & flour. Stir in the buttermilk, eggs & oil. Pour into a greased, 9 x9 baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done. Let cool. Now let's put together the dressing! Break up the cornbread and toast in a large bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan, sauté onions, celery and green bell peppers in a little bit of butter until tender. Add the sautéed veggies and the cooked shredded chicken into the cornbread mixture. Stir together to combine. Add in the broth a little at a time. Add in just enough to make it thick & a little soupy. Stir in a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, sage, and black pepper. I usually start with a teaspoon of each and add more to suite my taste.Give it a taste. It should taste exactly the way you want your dressing to taste like. When you are content with the taste, go ahead and stir in the eggs. Pour into a buttered 9 X 13 casserole pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until set. |
