Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sage, chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 8 cups day-old bread cubes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and bread cubes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss until the bread cubes are evenly coated and slightly moistened. Add more chicken broth, 1/4 cup at a time, if the stuffing seems too dry.

Step 7

Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade chicken stuffing!
