- Saute mushrooms on medium high heat, in the skillet you sauteed the onion and celery, adding more olive oil as needed, until mushrooms are golden. Add to rice.
- Gently toss rice to distribute vegetables. Add chicken and cornbread. Season with salt and pepper and carefully fold chicken and cornbread into rice and vegetables.

Notes
You can make this up to 24 hours ahead and bake when ready
Endless possibilities here, make it meatless or change the chicken to leftover turkey or ham, or try sausage or bacon
The combination of sweet cornbread and savory wild rice makes a heavenly concoction to blend with anything for a delicious and unique stuffing main dish or side dish
Keep this in mind for upcoming holiday menus and leftovers 🍗 🎄
Enjoy!

This is a recipe for comfort food for me Jenna and ideal for our cooler weather this weekend! I happen to have a Jiffy box of cornbread in the pantry that’s perfect for this too. 🙂
This really sounds good Jenna, I like the addition of seasoned rice. Toss in some broccoli and it’s a one dish meal:@)
Delicious recipe! I would add chopped pecans (as you suggest, you can add nuts). I like a little crunch in my cornbread dressings. I’ve never added the rice, so that’s a nice twist and makes a very hearty dressing.
This looks so good! Love the additions! Comfort food at it’s best!
This is fabulous. I hope you bring it over to Food on Friday. Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
Hi Jenna,
I can’t wait to try this dish, I am so ready for some good chicken and dressing! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
Come Back Soon,
Miz Helen
