Preparation
Step 1
Directions:
Prepare and bake cornbread according to packet directions (9 x 13 inch pan) and set aside to cool.
If cooking the chicken season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover the chicken pieces.
Bring the water to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the chicken for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for another 10 minutes.
Remove chicken to a plate and let cool. In a very large bowl add the crumbled cornbread. Tear the toasted bread into pieces and add to the cornbread into the bowl.
Add onion, celery, hard boiled eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, one can cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, melted butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Gently mix everything together. Spray a 6 quart crock pot or larger with non stick spray. Spread half of the second can of cream of chicken soup on the bottom of the crock pot.
Top with 1/3 of the dressing mixture. Add half of the cooked chicken breaking it into pieces as you add it.
Top with 1/3 more of the dressing, remaining chicken and the last of the dressing. Spread the remaining half can of the cream of chicken soup on top. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
Cook's Note: I start my crock pot on high for the first hour to get it going. Then turn it to low and cook for the remaining 3 hours. You can also use your favorite homemade cornbread in place of packaged. Two packages of store bought cornbread mix yielded one 9 x 13 inch pan of cornbread. Make sure to use corn bread mix and not not corn muffin mix- corn muffins are sweet corn bread is not). Cornbread dressing is not sweet.
