Crock Pot Chicken & Dressing

Ingredients:
1 - recipe homemade cornbread (9x13 in) or 2 - 6 oz packages yellow cornbread mix, prepared (not corn muffin mix- corn muffins are sweet corn bread is not)
5 - boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked or use rotisserie
2 - slices bread, hamburger or hot dog buns, toasted
2 - eggs, hard boiled
1 - small onion, chopped
2 - stalks celery, chopped
1 - 2 teaspoons sage, to your taste
1 - 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, to your taste
salt and pepper, to taste
2 - 10.5 oz cans great value cream of chicken soup
1 - stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, melted
2 - cups low sodium chicken broth

Directions:
Prepare and bake cornbread according to packet directions (9 x13 inch pan) and set aside to cool. While the cornbread cools poach or simmer the chicken breasts (you can also use store bought rotisserie or a homemade roast chicken).

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a saucepan or skillet. Add enough water to cover the chicken pieces.

Bring the water to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the chicken for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for another 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and let cool.

In a very large bowl add the crumbled cornbread. Tear the toasted bread into pieces and add to the cornbread.

Add onion, celery, hard boiled eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, one can cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, melted butter and salt and pepper to taste.

Gently mix everything together. Spray a 6 quart crock pot with baking spray. Spread half of the second can of cream of chicken soup on the bottom of the crock pot.

Top with 1/3 of the dressing. Add half of the cooked chicken breaking it into pieces as you add it.

Top with 1/3 more of the dressing, remaining chicken and the last of the dressing. Spread the remaining half can of the cream of chicken soup on top. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

Cook's Note: I start my crock pot on high for the first hour. Then turn it to low and cook for the remaining 3 hours. You can also use your favorite homemade cornbread in place of packaged. Two packages of cornbread mix yielded one 9 x 13 inch pan of cornbread.
