  1. Preheat oven to 400° and grease a small, square baking pan. Prepare cornbread muffin mix according to package directions and bake for approximately 15 minutes. Allow to cool. (I do this a day ahead.)

  6. Distribute dressing evening throughout pan and pour remaining chicken broth on top. Bake for 40 minutes until top of dressing is nicely browned.
