Reminiscient of traditional cornbread dressing, this casserole variation includes chicken.

Pick up a deli-roasted bird if you don’t have 3 1/2 cups of chopped chicken on hand.

It yields just enough meat for this recipe.

Chicken-and-Cornbread Casserole

Spoon mixture evenly over top of cornbread mixture in dish.

Top evenly with remaining half of cornbread mixture, and drizzle with butter.

Remove from oven, and top with cheese.

Bake, uncovered, 10 more minutes or until cheese is golden.

Garnish, if desired.
