Steps:
- Obviously, cook the cornbread and biscuits first, then crumble. Add chicken and remaining ingredients. I usually mix this in a huge gumbo pot, then pour it into the pan, simply because it's easier to mix and the largest bowl I have isn't big enough to hold it. Bake it at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. Don't let it get to brown around the edges or too dry in the center.
CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH CHICKEN PIECES
I checked "Just a Pinch" Southern cornbread dressings and not any of them was this recipe. It was the recipe that my mother always made. We did not have a turkey when I was growing up. We would have to buy one at the store and we could not afford one. We lived in the country. We had chickens for eggs and for eating. So each year...

- 2. In a large bowl, put your bread crumbs, sage, black pepper, salt. Mix
- 3. Add chopped onions, chopped boiled eggs and broth.

Tips:

- Toast the cornbread and bread cubes before adding them to the dressing. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a flavorful broth as the base of the dressing. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
- Add some chopped vegetables to the dressing for added flavor and nutrition. Onion, celery and bell pepper are all good choices.
- Season the dressing generously with salt, pepper and your favorite herbs and spices.
