Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 cups Bread cubes, dried
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sage, dried
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried bread cubes with the cooked onion mixture. Stir well to coat the bread in the butter and vegetables.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth, pineapple chunks, dried cranberries, chopped parsley, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the bread cubes are moistened but not soggy.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent drying out.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and enjoy your Pineapple Cranberry Stuffing as a flavorful addition to your meal!
