Chicken On Eggbread (An Old Southern Treat) Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 c. Corn meal
- 1/2 tsp Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 x Large eggs
- 1 c. Buttermilk
- 1 tsp Baking pwdr
- 6 Tbsp. Fat or possibly lard Slicked cooked chicken, (I chop it up)
- 3 Tbsp. Chopped onions
- 3 c. Chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp. Chopped celery
- 1/4 c. Cream
- 1/2 c. Butter Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 Tbsp. Flour
- 1 dsh Nutmeg
Directions
- Combine all ingredients except chicken. Pour into a well-greased pan and bake in 350 degrees oven for 25 min. Cut in squares and split. Place slices of chicken on bread and serve warm with sauce.
- SAUCE: To make sauce, saute/fry onion and celery in butter. Stir in 5 Tbsp. flour till blended. Add in chicken broth. Cook (stirring constantly) till thick. Add in cream and season to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
- Note: I sometimes use a cornbread mix rather than use the recipe. I also use the sauce recipe as a guide but will vary the amount of broth, etc.
- according to what I have on hand. For example, I always use less butter than the recipe calls for.
