Cornbread Dressing With Chicken Pieces Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken in a soup kettle. Add the water, celery and onion; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth. Strain broth, discarding vegetables; set broth aside. When cool enough to handle, remove chicken from bones; dice and place in a large bowl., In a large skillet, saute celery and onions in butter until tender; stir in salt, sage, pepper and cayenne. Add to chicken. Stir in the cornbread, green onions, pecans, parsley and eggs. Add 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups of reserved broth, stirring gently to mix. (Refrigerate remaining broth for another use.) , Transfer to greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 325° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• 1. Cut chicken up in serving pieces, or have your butcher do this for you. Boil chicken in 2 quarts of water.. Save broth, set aside chicken. OR Boil saved (frozen) chicken backs or pieces, and debone.
• 2. In a VERY large mixing bowl crumble two large skillets of cornbread. Start adding the other ingredients to the CRUMBLED cornbread. You can use a potato masher to help crumble it more easily.
• 3. Use enough broth to get the mixture really moist, as it will dry out a bit during baking.
• 4. After adding all ingredients, stir well, pour into a greased or buttered large (11×15) or a big oblong baking dish or if you prefer as I do, divide between 2 big cast iron skillets.
• 5. Place the chicken pieces (bone in) on top of dressing (take fat off) PRESS into the dressing OR use deboned chicken. You can also debone the chicken and mix in with the other ingredients. I prefer the golden brown chicken on top of the dressing.
• 6. Sprinkle lightly with suggested seasonings such as paprika, curry, black pepper. (opt)
• 7. Bake at 450° for approx. 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown around edges, and on top. Remember you have raw eggs in this mixture and you want them to be done.
• 8. Serve with cranberry sauce.
• 9. NOTE: This is a very forgiveable dish, if you should see that it is too dry while baking, you can put it back in the bowl and add more broth. If it is too moist, just simply bake longer. If you should run out of broth, add a chicken flavored boullion cube (or 2 if you prefer it richer) to every couple cups of hot water to make your own broth.

Steps:

• 1. Boil cut up chicken until very tender and almost fall off bones. Be sure to boil the chicken skin and fat too. Save the broth and add water if necessary to make 6 cups. Bone the chicken and throw away the skin unless you really like it. Tear chicken into pieces. Set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl, put your bread crumbs, sage, black pepper, salt. Mix
• 3. Add chopped onions, chopped boiled eggs and broth.
• 4. Mix in the chickens and stir. It should be a little soft but not like soup.
• 5. Pour into a lightly greased 10 X 14 casserole pan. Bake at 400° for 45 to 50 minutes or until done.

• Stir the onions and celery into the bread mixture. Mix in the chicken, 4 cups reserved broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, pepper and eggs. Blend with a potato masher until the mixture is the consistency of gelatin. Use more of the reserved broth as necessary to attain desired consistency. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
