different from yours so just make sure
2:52
you're following your directions now for
2:54
this recipe I am filling this dressing
2:57
up with a lot of chicken you want to use

cooked chicken for this recipe however
3:02
you get there you can boil your chicken
3:05
you can bake your chicken you can
3:08
Crock-Pot your chicken instapot it I am
3:12
using two rotisserie chickens here this
3:14
is a mosquet flavor so it's going to add
3:16
some deliciousness to our recipe so if
3:20
you're going to do it any other way make
3:21
sure that you season your chicken really
3:23
well cuz that's going to add the flavor
3:24
to your dressing so what I'm going to do
3:27
is cut these down to bite size pieces
3:31
and get this ready before our cornbread
3:33
comes out of the oven all right here's
3:38
one okay you're going to want about four
3:42
to five cups of chopped chicken we're
3:45
going to keep on layering in that
3:48
texture and the flavors of this dish to
3:51
give it a little crunch we're going to
3:53
sauté up some celery and onion I love to
3:57
dig deep into a big thing of celery and
4:01
pick out some ribs in here that have the
4:03
flowers in it now I'm going to wash this
4:05
off we're going to chop it up what we're
4:08
going to do is thin out our ribs of
4:10
celery somewhat so we have thin small
4:13
dices so I'm just dragging my knife
4:15
through the center of the celery going
4:18
from the top all the way down to the
4:23
bottom there you go just like
4:27
that I'm just going to run my knife
4:29
through them see those fine dices that's
4:33
what we're looking for keep it
4:36
small those flowers of the celery they
4:40
just look pretty in a
4:42
dish and it has flavor in it
4:49
aromatic there we go look at that it's
4:52
got the dark pieces in there I can
4:55
that all right let's chop up an onion
4:57
what I'm going to do is take off ends of
4:59
the onion peel off that outer layer and
5:01
then we're just going to dice it up now
5:03
I cut my onion in half and I'm just
5:05
dragging my knife through each half
5:07
following the line of the onion as much
5:09
as you can just kind of a guide and then
5:12
once I get down to the end just turn it
5:16
a quarter of the way run my knife
5:18
through it and there's your dices in a
5:21
medium Skillet we're going to add about
5:25
4 tablespoons of butter right here
