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!

Great recipe!! This is the first that I’ve tried from your site, and my first time making chicken and dressing in the crockpot. I modified the recipe just a little by substituting one can of cream of mushroom for one of the cans of cream of chicken because that’s what I had in the pantry. Also, I added celery. It was perfect!!! Thanks so much!!!
Did you simmer the celery on stove before adding it or put it in raw?
I am Southern (Mississippi) born and raised so I am always surfing around the websites dedicated to our kind of cooking. For a while now Saturdays have become my crockpot meal day so when I came across this I knew it was a must for today. We don’t usually have dressing until the holidays so this is a treat! I had a great crockpot dressing recipe that I can’t find so hopefully this will be my replacement. I am waiting on my cornbread to finish baking now so I can get it in the crockpot for dinner:) Thanks!
Hey There Christy,
This sounds just like my Family’s dressing recipe except we add celery. I will definitely have to try this very soon. I LOVE your site & your recipes, I was “born & raised” in Texas & have lived here my whole life & you seem just like a trusted friend. Will the older recipes ever have the button option to add them to our Recipe Box? It makes my day to find your new recipe posts on Facebook…Thanks so much for sharing!
This is one of the favorite recipes that I fix for church dinners. I always bring home an empty crock pot. We are printing a church cookbook of our favorite recipes. May I include this recipe in our cookbook as long as I include your name and info as to where recipe came from?
I’ve got a hankering for this, maybe I’ll make it this week! With mashed taters and brown gravy….ooo weee!
Now I have a hankerin for it!!
I am going to fix this this weekend. My dad gave me a cooked turkey breast so I am going to use it instead of chicken. Will give the onions a good sautee so that my family doesn’t spit out and we still get flavor. THAnks for all you do!
Man, I am making this for Sunday dinner! My air conditioning went out, and I am not baking in this 100 to 105 degree weather. Thank goodness for crock-pots. Thank you Christy!
