Chicken and Dressing

With the Holidays around the corner, I thought this would be good to post. It is my grandmothers and it makes enough to serve about 50 people so unless you are feeding that many, don't forget to scale it down!

1 large package of chicken- legs and thighs
1 large package of chicken- breasts
2 boxes Stove Top stuffing, chicken flavor
4 9-inch rounds of cornbread
8 chopped onions
4 tbsp sage
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp black pepper
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans cream of celery soup
12 eggs, beaten
2 gallons of chicken broth
6-8 c of bread crumbs (loaf bread, buns, etc)

Boil chicken in 2 large pots for about an hour. Have cornbread made ahead of time and crumbled. Remove chicken from both. Pour broth into large pan. Add soups and mix well. Add crumbled cornbread, stuffing mix and bread crumbs. Mix well. Add all other ingredients. Mix well. Pull chicken from bone, cut in bite-size pieces and mix in dressing. Pour dressing into large 12x19 pan or 2 9x13 pans. Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour or until done. Dressing is better to make ahead and freeze.
