Chicken Cornbread Casserole

[norgeway]

Tried this tonight, we liked it very much, its from the 1976 Boonville United Methodist Church Cookbook.
4 cups crumbled cornbread
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups coarsley chopped cooked chicken.."I used two full cups"
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Combine cornbread onion and celery, mix well, place 1/2 of this mixture in a lightly greased casserole dish, I used a 7x11x2 inch dish.,spread chicken over this, then mix soup and broth, pour over the above, top with remaining cornbread mixture, press top down lightly, let stand 20 minutes, then bake 45 min at 350.The recipe did not say to, but I sauted the onions and celery in a little butter before adding..I think it is really good.

That does sound good.  I'm going to give it a try, too.  I really love vintage church/regional cookbooks compiled by groups/organizations.  You get so many excellent comfort food recipes from them.  Thanks for sharing this one!

Hans - does this ever sound good and savory! It's like the chicken and the dressing are combined! Will give it a try since it is "Hans approved!!"
