Boil
some Chicken Breasts, Make some stuffing, or use boxed stuffing.
Grease
glass 13"X9" pan. Layer
stuffing in first. Lay boiled boneless chicken (can break up to make smaller,
thinner pieces) on top of stuffing.
Open
a can of Cream of Chicken soup; put a little milk in it - let's say 1/3 to 1/2
cup. Mix it up; spread on top of chicken, and sprinkle some shredded American
or cheddar cheese on top and bake at 350º about 30 min.
2
C Cornmeal
½
C Flour
3
tsp Baking Powder
1
tsp salt
1
Egg
¼
C Bacon Drippings
1
C Milk
Preheat oven to 475º
and put a 10" cast iron skillet inside to heat. You want this skillet HOT.
Mix
the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding egg and milk. Stir to combine; mix
well.
When
the skillet's hot, take it out, pour in the bacon grease and turn to coat. Pour
in cornbread batter and immediately return skillet to hot oven. Bake for
approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown and done in the middle - test it
with a toothpick, just like a cake.
If
you're feeling all ambitious, you can use this cornbread to make cornbread
dressing for Kaye's Chicken and Dressing Casserole.

Jenny's Cornbread Dressing
Using
'Mable's Cornbread' as the base, this is the stuffing I make every year for
Thanksgiving - and any other time I'm starving for chicken and dressing. You
can use Donna's Cornbread recipe, too... to save a step, she'll chop her onions
and celery and cook them in the batter.
1
pan of somebody's Cornbread, cooled and crumbled
1
medium onion, chopped
2-3
stalks Celery, cut in 1/8" slices
1
Egg
Sage
to taste
Salt
and pepper to taste
Chicken
or Turkey Stock
Preheat
oven to 375º Mix all ingredients together
and add chicken stock until mixture is quite wet - we like our dressing very
moist. I believe I use between 10 and 16 oz... maybe more. Put in prepared
9"X13" baking dish and bake until golden brown and delicious.

THE
GAG TEST - Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from
what you cooked for yourself last night).
EGGS
- When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably
past its prime.
MEAT
- If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block
radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled.
CANNED
GOODS - Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a basketball
should be disposed of. Carefully.
POTATOES
- Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth.
GENERAL RULE OF THUMB - Most food cannot be kept
longer than the average life span of a hamster. Keep a hamster in your
refrigerator to gauge this.
