Grandma Standard’s Classic Cornbread Dressing
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Put the cornbread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside until needed.

  3. 3

    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 the juices run clear. Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, reserving at least 2 cups of the chicken broth. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and debone, discarding the skin and bones.

  4. 4

    Combine the onion, chicken broth, and red pepper with the cornbread; mash the mixture with 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.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
