Baked Chicken & Plain Dressing image

This recipe is for "picky eaters" like me. Even grown-ups seem to like it for a change. To make a more traditional dressing you may add sauteed onions, celery and hard boiled eggs before baking, Instead of cornbread mix, a homemade cornbread recipe may be used. Note: Chicken may be baked with 2-3 cups of water instead of boiled.

1 1/3 c milk
2 tsp sage
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black or white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bake cornbread- Mix according to directions with eggs and milk. Note: I use an iron skillet that has been greased and heated then sprinkle cornmeal over the bottom before adding prepared cornbread mixture and baking.
  • 2. Allow baked cornbread to cool. Break pieces into large bowl. Add spices and enough broth to moisten well. Reserving some broth to pour over chicken.
  • 3. Place dressing into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Note: May use cooking spray in place of butter.
  • 4. Place (cooked) boiled whole chicken rubbed with salt, pepper and other spices as desired in the center of dressing. Pour broth over chicken making dressing a little soupy.
  • 5. Bake uncovered for about 45 minute @ 350 until chicken is browned and dressing is hot. May increase oven temperature to 400F during last 15 minutes.
