Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dressing

    In a large bowl, combine the cornbread dressing mix, sautéed vegetables, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth gradually, stirring until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

  4. 4

    Bake the Dish

    In a large baking dish, place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up. Spoon the dressing mixture around the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Cook

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken & Dressing!
