Excellent. The seasoning combination was perfect for use and I would not change a thing about it although I did increase the sage a little because we love the flavor in dressing. I will decrease the butter and the amount of chicken broth next time as mine was a little soupy after 6 hours. I halved the recipe and used about 1 and 3/4 cups broth which proved to be a little much. I used 2 chicken breast seasoned with a little salt and pepper. I think this might be the family Thanksgiving Special for this year. Thanks 2Bleu for sharing with us.

This was a great tasting chicken and dressing. I would decrease the butter and the broth some next time. Would definitely make this again. Thanks for post such a wonderful recipe.

Wow, this is a "Wonderful" recipe! Only change was to omit the mushrooms and dried marjoram (personal preference). Used for our family Thanksgiving dinner. Stuffed an 18 pound turkey with first batch and filled the Slow Cooker with the second. Devoured by all! Thanks for posting, 2Bleu's!

I love chicken and stuffing, and this is one of the best recipes I've come across as far as taste and ease of preparing. I followed as directed, except I omitted the sliced mushrooms. Yummy stuff! Made for PRMR tag game.

If this could have more stars I"d give more. Fabulous stuffing Bleu's. Terrific taste and flavor blend. It was worth getting up early a.m. to get this ready for a sunday noon dinner. I'll be making this again and again~
