I am wondering if anyone can tell me what breed of rooster and what breed of hen I would need to have to be able to have my own broiler chickens hatched and raised? I have read that the broilers are a giant Cornish cross, but cross with what? I would like to breed and raise my own broilers instead of ordering them from hatchery. If anyone knows for sure the breeds required and could share that info with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you muchly,

It is Cornish x rock. But you won't get the giant birds like from a hatchery, they have been carefully selecting parent stock for a long time. The chicks you get are hybrids.
If you want to try breeding them, you could maybe try and get the freedom rangers, they got get as big as fast, maybe they will be able to breed naturally?

Yes, Freedom Rangers breed naturally just fine.

Mutts.

If the rock is dominant white, the chicks will be white.

If he's recessive white, the chicks will be colored.

Cornish cross roosters are sterile and can't reproduce

Not true at all, sorry. They're large and don't always have good fertility, but over the years on this board we've seen several offspring from CX roosters. Why on earth would they be sterile?
