Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups stale bread, cubed (approximately 1-inch cubes)
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, making sure not to let it burn.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the poultry seasoning, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoned broth.

Step 7

If using shredded cooked chicken, fold it into the mixture for added protein and flavor.

Step 8

Continue to gently stir, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid, about 3–5 minutes. The stuffing should be moist but not overly soggy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let the stuffing rest for a few minutes to set before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or light main course and enjoy!
