Chicken n Dressin' Casserole

I wanted to share a very simple, but tasty Chicken and Dressing Casserole recipe. It is Thanksgiving in a dish! When mixing you may think that the mixture is too wet, but it cooks perfectly! This is a dressing casserole that is so moist it doesn't even need gravy... but I love gravy, so I fix some on the side anyway! 




Chicken -n- Dressin' Casserole

4 chicken breasts cooked and cubed
1 8x8 pan prepared cornbread, cooled and crumbled 
4 eggs, boiled, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups chicken broth
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (I use cream of mushroom if I don't have chicken.) 

Combine all ingredients and place in a 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes or until set.

Add sage if you like, but my family cannot have it because of Crohn's and reflux triggers.

  5. Do you think you could freeze prior to cooking and bake later? Any suggestions on time or temp if you can? Thanks!

  6. WHEN YOU SAY ONE PAN OF CORNBREAD - DO YOU MEAN A 9X13 PAN?

    1. Mine is an 8x8 pan. I sometimes use two boxes for a 13x9 pan for a bigger batch.

    1. I use Jiffy Mix, and it is a tad sweet, but it's your choice. I like the Jiffy brand.

  8. Thanks for your questions...
    I have never tried freezing this casserole.

    I use Jiffy cornbread mix and one box makes an 8x8 size pan. Jiffy is a little sweet... but not too sweet, just a hint! Thanks Again! ~ Lynn SWAT

    1. My box says corn muffin mix and gives no instructions on pan method. Did I buy the wrong one?

      Delete
    2. No Darlene, you didn't get the wrong thing. Mine has instructions on the side and calls it Johnny Cake I think. Just mix it like it says and cook it in a greased dish, pan or skillet. You are going to crumble it anyway... so cook it however you like. :-)

  16. I am looking to make casserole dishes to take to my son and daughter-in-law's house during the week. They just had twins so it's pretty hectic. Question - how long can the dishes stay in the fridge before baking? Thanks.

    1. Maybe overnight... I've never done that. Cover it tightly so it doesn't dry out and it should be ok.

  17. Is this a side dish or main course??
    Looks awesome.

  18. Don't forget cranberry sauce!! A friend took this to our garden club Christmas luncheon. It was sooo good, but I would have killed for a side of cranberry sauce!!!

    1. No M'am! Sage is a big no-no in my house. My father was the first one to realize that sage was the culprit of tummy troubles around the holiday. For the many family members with acid reflux, sage is a big trigger. So, we don't use sage here at all, and we have seen a very big improvement. Check out my blog about it...

    2. Thank you for the heads up on sage. I did not know this. It explains a lot now about how I feel after a Thanksgiving dinner. I appreciate this and will read your blog.

  24. I have been hungry for this for several days. Today, the store had marked down chicken thighs. I wanted the easy throw it in the crock pot version as I start a new class tonight. So...I kind of made up my own and it is cooking in the crock pot for tonight.

  26. In the original recipe, the pan of cornbread, is that 1 or 2 boxes of jiffy cornbread? I say original, because I wanted to cut it in half because I cook for 2 people only and I got confused on that.

    ReplyDelete

    1. 1 box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix, prepared. Let me know how it turns out for you! :-)

      Delete
    2. If you are cutting the recipe in half, you could bake the full pan of cornbread, cut that in half, crumble both halves separately, and freeze one half for a later use. I have kept cornbread in the freezer (zipper bag) for up to three months; I wouldn't go much past that, as it starts to taste a little off.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I made this tonight with the following substitutions: Cream of Chicken with Herbs (in place of Cream of Mushroom), no boiled eggs, and added about a Teaspoon of Poultry seasoning, it was delicious! My kids had seconds. Thanks so much for this easy and tasty dish!

  34. my granny made cornbread dressing this way! I LOVED it so much!!!! but, can I use a box of cornbread stuffing in place of making the cornbread and such? I'm gonna try it anyway...it's what I have on hand, but was still wanting to ask

    ReplyDelete
  35. also, would this dish freeze well?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You can make it with the cornbread stuffing in the box, and it does freeze well. Thanks!
      I don't use the boxed stuff because it has sage, and my family can't have the sage because of reflux issues.
