Chicken Dressing

Submitted by robingracejohnson

"My grandma makes this and it is fabulous! Everyone loves it. It is pretty much like making the sausage and cornbread dressing like you would have at Thanksgiving or Christmas except made with chicken. I have made it with soup beans, macaroni and cheese, and fried potatoes before and my family enjoyed it. Or make with any side you like. Great; a must try!"
