Description
A traditional recipe for savory chicken baked with herbed bread stuffing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken pieces, bone-in
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups dried bread cubes
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place chicken pieces in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking broth.
- While chicken cools, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, onion, celery, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the reserved chicken broth, melted butter, and eggs.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture and toss gently until all bread cubes are moistened.
- Remove skin and bones from the cooled chicken and shred the meat. Fold the shredded chicken into the dressing mixture.
- Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is heated through.
Notes
- You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
- For a moister dressing, add an extra 1/2 cup of broth if the mixture seems too dry before baking.
