4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (16 ounce) package dry corn bread mix
1 (1 pound) loaf day-old white bread, torn into small pieces
4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 eggs

1
Place the chicken breast halves in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded. Shred chicken and set aside. Reserve 4 to 6 cups of the remaining broth.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine and stir in the onions and celery. Slowly cook, stirring occasionally, until tender.
5
Stir the onions and celery into the bread mixture. Mix in the chicken, 4 cups reserved broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, pepper and eggs. Blend with a potato masher until the mixture is the consistency of gelatin. Use more of the reserved broth as necessary to attain desired consistency. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
