Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 8x8-inch baking pan.
   
2. Mix all cornbread ingredients together in bowl until smooth. Pour into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until done. Remove from oven and let cool completely. When cool, crumble corn bread and place 3 cups of corn bread crumbs in mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup melted butter to crumbs and mix well; set aside.
   
3. To make chicken filling: In saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter and saute onions and celery until transparent, stirring occasionally.
   
4. Add chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and soup is dissolved completely. Add chicken, stir and blend until mixture reaches a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, remove from heat.
   
5. Place chicken mixture in buttered 2 1/2 quart casserole dish, or individual casserole dishes (about four). Spoon cornbread crumb topping on top of chicken mixture. Do not stir in chicken filling and place dish in preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. The crumbs will turn a golden yellow.
