Instructions

1. Mix together cornbread batter according to your cornbread recipe or mix instructions. Add diced celery and onions to the batter and bake as directed. Remove cornbread from oven and allow to completely cool. Shred rotisserie chicken. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.

3. Finely crumble up cornbread and stale bread. Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Mix together well. Toss together with shredded chicken.

4. Add eggs. Mix well with fork or hands. Mix in butter and 1.5 cups broth with hands or fork.

5. Spoon cornbread dressing into a greased 9×13 pan or 5 quart casserole dish. Pour remaining chicken broth over the top.

6. Bake covered with foil or a lid for 25 minutes and uncovered for 20 minutes.

7. Dressing is done when top is browned and edges are bubbling.

Notes

If baking the night before, let the dressing cool completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add 1/2 to 1 cup broth before reheating at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.

To prep ahead, assemble and refrigerate uncooked dressing. Let come to room temperature before baking.

To freeze before baking, assemble in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before baking.

To freeze after baking, cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze. Thaw in fridge overnight, add 1/2 to 1 cup broth, and reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
