For a richer flavor, brown the chopped onion and celery in butter before adding them to the cornbread mixture. Feel free to customize the herbs and spices in the stuffing mix to your liking. Sage, thyme, and rosemary are excellent additions. If the dressing starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. The gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving. This can save time on Thanksgiving Day.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a large roasting pan with nonstick spray and place in the preheating oven until hot. (7-8 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the dressing: Combine cornbread mix and water in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.
03
StepRemove the hot pan from the oven and pour in the cornbread batter. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown. (17-21 minutes). Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle (10-15 minutes); keep the oven on.
04
StepCrumble cooled cornbread into a large bowl. Stir in stuffing mix, onion, and celery. Add chicken and both condensed soups, then stir in as much chicken broth as needed to moisten the dry ingredients. Stir in eggs and melted butter; season with salt and pepper.
05
StepGrease the roasting pan used for the cornbread with more nonstick spray, if needed. Lightly pack dressing mixture into the pan.
06
StepBake until the top is golden brown. (45 minutes to 1 hour)
07
StepWhile the dressing is baking, make the gravy: Combine chicken, onion, celery, and hard-cooked eggs in a large saucepan. Add the container of chicken broth and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and broth has reduced slightly. (about 45 minutes)
08
StepMix cornstarch with water in a small bowl; stir into the gravy and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. (about 5 minutes)
09
StepRemove dressing from the oven and serve with hot gravy.
