This recipe is an add on to the Chicken and Dressing post. It turns that side dish into a meal topped with a mushroom sauce and cheese. I hope you enjoy. It is one of my favorite recipes and everyone always asks for it.

Recipe Notes
- Sometimes I add 5 cups of chicken.
- Sometimes I add a little more chicken stock. It really depends on the level of moistness you like. Everyone has an opinion. Drier. Wetter. Experiment and you will find what you like, and at least I gave you a base here to find yours.
- This recipe is main dish. As a side dish, the servings are 16 for a total carb count of 8 (Net Carbs are 6). As a main dish, the servings are for 8 for a total carb count of 17 (Net Carbs are 13).
- Compare the carbs to using corn meal for the cornbread. That would calculate out to 40 total carbs (35 Net Carbs) per serving!! Wow. And most people can't tell that cornbread using corn meal wasn't used!
Enjoy!
Until next time,
