Your Mom taught you right! Your recipe sounds spot on to me.........the same way I make it, with one exception, and this is optional. You didn't say what you season the chicken with when you cook it, but I like to throw in an onion, two or three ribs of celery and a carrot or two. I also put a little FRESH thyme and sage in with the chicken when I cook it, if I have some growing. This makes for some really tasty chicken stock, and adds flavor to the dressing.
