I made this recipe for our pre Family Reunion Dinner held at my brothers house, it is a recipe from my cookbook, and one family friend remarked that it was the best Chicken & dressing he had ever eaten, and because of this one dish alone, said he had to have my cookbook. Another family member loved it but wanted to make it in a crockpot, so I recreated the Original recipe & came up with this version for the crockpot, and made everyone happy. This is the recipe that was recreated for Officer Shawn of Little Rock Arkansas. He has been making it this way ever since. Hope you like it too.

This Crockpot Chicken & dressing was created for a Family Friend in Arkansas. It can be made in the Crock Pot or Baked in the oven. I recreated the original version that is in my cookbook so it could be made in a Crock Pot. It is great either way.
