Crock Pot Chicken & Cornbread Dressing

All the flavors of Traditional Cornbread Dressing with the addition of chicken, layered in your slow cooker. Pair with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, southern peas or green beans and fluffy rolls!    

Last weekend was the first official day of Fall, so bring on the cool weather and all things pumpkin! Fall is my favorite season, the brisk weather, changing of the leaves and all my favorite comforting meals. When October rolls around, it's time to pull out the crock pot, dust it off and start cooking up some yummy slow cooker meals. 

I have to admit I'm one of those people that use their crock pots year round and not just in in the fall and winter. I live in Texas, so the summers can be brutally hot. Too hot to turn on the oven most days, so I use my crock pot on a regular basis throughout the summer months. 

I own various crock pots, because I rely on them so much. I'm happy to say that I've added another crock pot to my collection. The new Cook & Carry 6 Quart Slow Cooker. This is the perfect crock pot for anyone with a "on the go lifestyle."

If you're the type of person that uses your crock pot for parties and tail-gating than this is the perfect crock pot for you. This is my first crock pot that I've ever owned with a secure tight fitting lid and locking system. So far I really like it as it will come in handy when we go to parties or cookouts.

I always worry about spilling things when I take my crock pot out and about. The lid locking system on the cook and carry creates a tight seal between the stoneware and the lid.  This will ensure no spills and no mess anywhere I go. This makes me very happy : )

I decided to take my new crock pot for a test run over the weekend. Since today marks the beginning of Crocktober I prepared a comforting Crock Pot Chicken & Dressing 
meal. I love this recipe, because all you need to do is layer all the ingredients in the crock pot and then let it do its magic. 

It doesn't get much easier than that. My family loves chicken and dressing, so I love that we can enjoy it year round by cooking it in a crock pot. Let's get crocking and I will show you how easy this meal came together. 

In a very large bowl add the crumbled cornbread. Tear the toasted bread into pieces and add to the cornbread. Add onion, celery, hard boiled eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, one can cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, melted butter and salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix everything together.

Spray a 6 quart crock pot with baking spray. Spread half of the second can of cream of chicken soup on the bottom of the crock pot. Top with 1/3 of the dressing. Add half of the cooked chicken breaking it into pieces as you add it.

Top with 1/3 more of the dressing, remaining chicken and the last of the dressing. Spread the remaining half can of the cream of chicken soup on top.

Cover and cook on low for 5 -6 hours. Locks should not be used while crock pot is cooking.
