Ingredients

• 6 cups cubed bread or stuffing mix
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients: finely chop the onion, celery, and garlic, and chop all the fresh herbs.

Step 2

Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter in the pan.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables become soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock or vegetable broth, stirring to incorporate the flavors.

Step 6

Add the fresh parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Turn the heat to low and gently incorporate the cubed bread or stuffing mix, stirring until the bread is fully coated with the broth mixture.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the bread to soak up the liquid.

Step 9

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and check the texture of the stuffing. It should be moist but not soggy. If needed, you can add more broth a little at a time.

Step 10

Fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving to give it a light, airy texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish to your main course. Enjoy your homemade stove top stuffing!
