CORNBREAD DRESSING



Cornbread Dressing image

This is my favorite Cornbread Dressing I use for special holidays. I make my own white bread using my bread machine and my own Skillet Cornbread to use in this recipe. If you prepare the bread ahead of time, you can freeze them until ready to use. I really like this dressing. It is easy to do and has a great flavor. I like to add fresh mushrooms to the mix. Happy Holidays!

½ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut a pocket into the side of each piece of chicken, going to within 1/2 inch of each edge. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and chicken livers; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sage; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Gently stir in the cornbread crumbs and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Spoon some of the stuffing into the pocket of each piece of chicken. Arrange them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon any leftover stuffing into the pan to surround the chicken. Stir together the condensed chicken soup and water; pour over the top off the chicken. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center of the stuffed breasts has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) and the chicken has browned on top.

Tips:

  • Using fresh cornbread is best, but day-old cornbread works fine too. If your cornbread is dry, add a little milk or chicken broth to help moisten it.
  • Sautéing the vegetables in butter before adding them to the dressing helps to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a combination of herbs and spices to give your dressing a unique flavor. Some popular options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • If you're using a sausage, cook it until it's browned before adding it to the dressing.
  • Be careful not to overcook the dressing. It should be cooked until it's heated through but not dry.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or let it cool and reheat it before serving.
