Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 stalks, finely chopped celery
• 3 cups, crumbled cornbread
• 3 cups dry bread cubes
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly before shredding.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, dry bread cubes, sautéed onion and celery, poultry seasoning, dried sage, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and eggs until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the soup mixture over the cornbread mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in the shredded chicken and parsley (if using).

Step 7

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle.

Step 9

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Sunday Chicken and Dressing Casserole!
