Arkansas Chicken & Dressing

In earlier times, Arkansans had access to chicken and eggs. A pen of chickens carried to a celebrated harvest meeting in the community became available for the meal. Cornbread or any leftover bread combined with vegetables from the garden such as onion and celery, and the broth from cooking the chicken created Arkansas Chicken and Dressing. The dish made the holiday menu and Sunday lunch as it fed large numbers of multi-generations of the family.
