After many failed attempts and discarded recipes, I finally have a recipe that my entire family loves. I hope yours does as well!
Ingredients for Easy Cornbread Recipe
2 (16 oz) packages of yellow cornbread mix, prepared according to package directions. I use Gladiola Martha White Yellow Cornbread Mix.
1 pound of chicken (boiled and shredded; may be baked, if preferred)
3 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1 clove of minced garlic
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups of chicken stock
2 1/2 cup of ground sage. I use McCormick brand ground sage.
Salt & pepper to taste.
Directions
Prepare cornbread mix according to package. Cool and crumble.
While cornbread is baking, boil the chicken, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. I highly recommend the Food Network’s article on safely cooking chicken.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter, then saute the celery, onions, and garlic together.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 X 13 baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl:
Mix sage, salt, and pepper with crumbled cornbread.
Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Pour mixture into greased pan.
Bake at 350 degrees, until golden brown.
I didn’t include cook times, which differ from oven to oven, but it takes about 40-45 minutes in my oven. I hope that you enjoy this recipe! If you try it, please leave a comment!
