MAMA'S CORNBREAD AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• 1. Preheat ovent to 325 degrees.
• 2. Cook (boil) chicken breasts until done; save 1 cup broth. (For added flavor, I added 1/2 cup of chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion and 3 chicken bouilon cubes to this broth) Freeze remaining broth to use in other dishes.
• 3. Remove chicken from broth and cool enough to handle. Pull chicken off bones; cut in bite size pieces; set aside.
• 4. In the mean time, bake your favorite cornbread. After baking cornbread, let cool. Crumble up corn bread fine and pour melted margarine over corn bread. Mix well; set aside. NOTE 2: if cornbread is warm just add butter that is at room temperature to the warm crumbs and stir to combine. NOTE 2: I made a 10-inch skillet of cornbread and took out 2 slices to serve with our meal.
• 5. To the cut up chicken add 1 cup chicken broth and both cans of soup. NOTE: If you don't have cream of celery, use 2 cans of cream of chicken.
• 6. In a greased casserole dish place a little more than half (I used about 2/3's of this mixture) of the corn bread mixture; spoon meat mixture on top of cornbread mixture. Add boiled eggs if desired, and top with remaining corn bread mixture.
• 7. Bake at 325 degrees until bubbly. Ovens vary so start watching around 30 to 35 minutes. It took my dish 45 minutes. The last 2 minutes I turned the broiler on to give the top of casserole a toasty finish.
• 8. NOTE: I served mashed potatoes with Lynn Socko's https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynn-socko/chicken-gravy/quick-easy-healthy-gravy, peas I canned this summer and a slice of cornbread...YUM!

• 3. DIRECTIONS FOR CHICKEN AND BROTH
• 4. You need 1 large fryer (whole chicken) Remove gizzards/livers inside chicken, and then wash in clear water. Place in large pot with 2 to 3 quarts water; add salt, pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine, add 1/3 cup of each chopped vegetables; onions, green pepper, and celery to the pot.
• 5. Cover and cook on high heat until it starts to boil. Reduce heat and continue boiling about 35 to 45 minutes or until almost done. Remove from pot. Set aside. Keep chicken broth. Remember the broth is what makes the dressing.
• 6. DIRECTIONS FOR CORNBREAD DRESSING
• 7. You will need a very large bowl to combine ingredients for dressing. Break hot cornbread into bite size pieces, add margarine or butter. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and sage. Add Cream of Chicken Soup and eggs. Continue mixing. Add a cup of broth to start, add rolls. Mix well. Add more broth until dressing is the texture desired. Set aside.
• 8. Lightly rub top of chicken with margarine then sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 425 degree until done about 30 minutes.
• 9. Next, pour dressing in a large deep greased casserole dish and bake dressing until hot all the way through and top and edges start to brown about 30 to 40 minutes. NOTE: oven temps vary so watch close, you don't want a runny dressing and you don't want it dry.
• 10. IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER: • For a drier dressing use less broth, for a moist dressing, use more broth. • When using poultry and sage seasoning, use according to your taste. You may want to add more seasonings or less, just be careful not to add too much, it will overpower the natural flavors. Seasonings make or break the flavor in corn bread dressing. • Make the dressing a day before serving. This gives the seasonings time to spread flavor throughout. Just make sure you cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. • For more flavor, cut up chicken gizzards and livers in dressing before baking.
