Recipe Notes
Suggestion:
It’s best to make chicken and dressing at least a day ahead of when you plan to serve it. After you mix the broth from the cooked chicken and the second 32-ounce carton of chicken broth with the cornbread mixture, you may prefer not to add the third carton of broth.
Let the chicken and dressing set overnight then consider adding the third carton (or at least half of it) of broth the next day before baking the dressing. It’s much better to eat a dressing that’s a little moist rather than dry.
