Crock Pot Chicken And Cornbread Dressing
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
We do dressing differently in the south. Dressing is moist and delicious, served steaming with sides of cranberry sauce and ample amounts of chicken or turkey inside. Often reserved for holidays, my grandmother changed all of that with her crock pot chicken and dressing recipe. Now we have this family favorite all year long thanks to the little effort involved in preparing it.
I’ve often said there is no sight prettier than an old lady with a casserole dish – but the sight of my Grandmother toting her crock pot has it beat by far! This is from my grandmother, Lucille, to you. Enjoy!
(Good thing y’all aren’t waiting in real time for me to finish this post. Its taking me ten forevers because I am sitting here eating more dressing as I do it.)
Recipe Ingredients:
- TWO pans of cornbread (I know I am only showing one here, but trust me, two, two..)
- Two hotdog or hamburger buns
- Two boiled eggs
- Stick of butter
- Chicken (I used 4 boneless skinless breasts and just boiled them in water until done)
- Two cans cream of chicken soup
- Two cans chicken broth
- Sage
- Chopped onion
Alright! Things are heating up here at Southern Plate! We now have ACTION Photography!!! Crumble all of your cornbread into a large bowl.
Tear hot dog or hamburger bun into small pieces and place in bowl. We always use two types of bread in our dressing. The white bread helps to bind it together. If you don’t have any buns, you can always use loaf bread.
Chop eggs.
Add to bowl eggs, onions, sage, melted butter…
…one cream of chicken soup and both cans of broth.
Stir well until it looks like this. You’ve made your dressing!!! Go you!!!
In crock pot, spread half of the remaining can of cream of chicken soup.
Top with 1/3 of your dressing.
Top dressing with half of your chicken. I just tear it up as I add it in here.
You can do that or shred it or cut it…or ask it really nicely to separate into tiny pieces and hop in.
Repeat with another layer of dressing, remainder of chicken, and a final layer of dressing.
Spread remainder of cream of chicken soup over the top. Cover and cook on low for three to four hours.
Dig in!

Oh my! I tried this today, and now I’m stuffed! Somehow, I never learned to make dressing, and this was a real treat for us, especially for a non-holiday meal. It makes a LOT, so I shared with my (grown) children, and hubby and I still have leftovers for tomorrow. For once, DH is really looking forward to leftovers! Thanks for posting – I’ve decided to make this for Thanksgiving as well.
I am so glad to see this recipe on here! My husband’s granny has been making crockpot dressing for years and it is magnificent =0) Any time I have to bring a dish for a holiday, that is what I bring and people rave over it. You can also use the premade bags of pepperidge farm cornbread stuffing instead of pans of cornbread but it can be hard to find except around the holidays.
Hey!
Do you mean a stuffing that is already prepared or a dry mix? Just curious. We just have the dry mix. I think you could use the dry mix as long as you go ahead and prepare it according to the package directions as it is dryer than fresh cornbread. If your stuffing seems to have too much moisture, just leave the lid off for half an hour or so before serving.
Keep in mind that I’ve never tried this but I think it would work.

Wonder if you could just use the P. Farm cornbread stuffing that is already made?

My mom thinks the jiffy cornbread thing is a travesty as well. Oh well, its a new day and we have things to do!!
Thank you so much for letting me know how it turned out, I’m thrilled you liked it!!! Actually, I have a crock pot recipe I will be posting this week and since you mentioned wanting more, I am thinking of doing my crock pot lasagna recipe as well. Its one of my oft requested ones irl, I have just been avoiding it since it didn’t seem too southern. However, I can call upon the fact that I am southern and my kitchen is in the south and therefore anything which I and my kitchen churn out must therefore be southern food…
I will definitely open up ye olde family cookbook and try to get more crock pot recipes up soon. We have several of them! Now you are making me want some….
Thank you!
