Ingredients
Instructions

- Add the meat from one large cooked chicken, one can of cream of chicken soup, 2 to 3 beaten eggs, grated large onion, and season with poultry seasoning, black pepper, and celery salt.
- Tear the white bread slices into small pieces and fold into the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a large pan or baking dish.
- Bake at 350° to 400° Fahrenheit until the top is golden and the dressing is set, about 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful dressing, consider adding sautéed celery and carrots to the onion mixture. If you don't have poultry seasoning, a mix of thyme, sage, and rosemary can work well. Leftover cornbread can also be used in place of the skillet cornbread. If you prefer a creamier texture, add an extra can of cream of chicken soup.
Serving Suggestions
Flossie's Chicken and Dressing pairs beautifully with green beans or a fresh garden salad. Serve it alongside Homemade Chicken Soup for a hearty meal. For a comforting twist, consider adding cranberry sauce or apple sauce on the side. This dish also works well as a filling for a turkey sandwich.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover the dressing with foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. For a crispier top, uncover for the last 10 minutes of reheating.
