Chicken on eggbread (an old southern treat)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Corn meal
½ teaspoon Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Baking powder
6 tablespoons Fat or lard
Slicked cooked chicken; (I chop it up)
3 tablespoons Minced onions
3 cups Chicken broth
3 tablespoons Minced celery
¼ cup Cream
½ cup Butter
Salt and pepper to taste
5 tablespoons Flour
1 dash Nutmeg

Directions

SAUCE

Combine all ingredients except chicken. Pour into a well-greased pan and bake in 350 degrees oven for 25 minutes. Cut in squares and split. Place slices of chicken on bread and serve hot with sauce.

SAUCE: To make sauce, saute onion and celery in butter. Stir in 5 tablespoons flour until blended. Add chicken broth. Cook (stirring constantly) until thick. Add 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.
