Grandma Standard’s Classic Cornbread Dressing
Grandma Standard’s Classic Cornbread Dressing brings tender cornbread cubes together with savory chicken, gentle sage, and a hint of heat from cayenne. Moist from rich chicken broth and roasted juices, it bakes up with a golden top and comforting aroma. Serve it alongside holiday turkey or as a hearty Sunday dinner side when you want nostalgic, homestyle flavor.

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.
