Slow Cooker Chicken and Cornbread Dressing
Our Slow Cooker Chicken and Cornbread Dressing recipe is one of our favorites this time of the year. We love Chicken and Dressing here at the cottage and this is a great recipe that give's you a lot of freedom while it cooks. My Grandmother used to make a dish very similar to this and I have rolled in all together for the slow cooker. I like to have this for Sunday Dinner, when we come home from church and open the front door, that amazing smell of warm cozy dressing is slowly following you back to the kitchen.

Ingredients
4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 skillet of corn bread (Corn Bread Recipe)
8 to 10 slices of day old bread chopped in cubes
2 cups celery chopped
1 large yellow onion chopped
1 cup butter
2 eggs beaten
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons sage
1 tablespoons thyme
3 tablespoons parsley
salt and pepper to taste
3 to 4 cups turkey or chicken broth
1 cup milk
Directions
Make the cornbread about two days ahead and let it dry really good. Lay the other bread on a cookie sheet about 1 to 2 days and let it dry really good. If you forget to do this, then toast it. The bread and cornbread have to be dry or this won't work.
On the day you want to prepare the dressing, add the dried crumbled cornbread and the dried cubed bread to a large mixing bowl. To the bread mix add the poultry seasoning, sage, thyme and parsley and mix well. In a hot skillet melt 1/2 cup butter and saute the celery and the onion. When the onion and celery are soft then add to the bread mixture and stir well.
Add the broth, and milk to the mix and stir well. Taste the dressing at this point and adjust the seasons adding salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken and mix well. Add the beaten eggs and stir well and pour the dressing into a buttered Slow Cooker. Add the last 1/2 cup of the butter cubed and stir the mixture very well. Put the lid on the cooker and cook on high for 2 hours and low for 2 hours.
If you would like to have a browned top for your dressing, remove the dressing to a baking dish and brown the dressing under the broiler. This is a very moist dressing, if you want a drier dressing then reduce the milk in the recipe.
