Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the cornbread cubes into a large bowl. Set aside until needed. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Place the chicken breasts in a pot and cover with water. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan, reserving at least 2 cups of the chicken broth. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and debone, discarding the skin and bones. (Cook time: 25 minutes)

04

Step

Mix the onion, chicken broth, and red pepper with the cornbread; mash the mixture using a hand masher. Season to taste with sage, salt, and black pepper, adding a little at a time. Stir in the chicken. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. (Bake time: 45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor.
If the dressing appears dry during baking, add a little more chicken broth.
