This Chicken and Cornbread Stuffing is savory, easy to make, budget-friendly, especially if you can use leftovers. The whole family loved it and wanted more.

You could dice up an apple and add that to the Cornbread Stuffing and Chicken. If you want to add to the texture, toss in some chopped walnuts. You could change the meat to Ground Beef or Sausage and have a whole new flavor profile and a completely different dish.
