Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, discard the skin and bones, and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables, shredded rotisserie chicken, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and beaten eggs until smooth.
Pour the liquid mixture over the stuffing mixture and toss gently to combine. The mixture should be moist but not soupy. Adjust with additional chicken broth if needed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is set.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Semi Homemade Chicken and Dressing!
