Chicken and Dressing Casserole is a wonderful meal. It takes a little bit of time to put together but is well worth the effort. You can save a little time by preparing the cornbread the day before.

This recipe will easily feed 6-8 people, depending on appetite. Leftovers are great too! I serve the casserole as the entire meal but you can add a couple of side dishes if desired.
