Method
Preheat Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sauté Vegetables:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, shredded chicken, and bread cubes.
- Add poultry seasoning, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss to mix evenly.
Add Liquid:
- Pour chicken broth and heavy cream over the mixture. Gently fold until bread cubes are moistened but not soggy.
Assemble and Bake:
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.
Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving warm.
Notes
Use Stale Bread: Stale or day-old bread absorbs liquid better, preventing sogginess.
Customize the Flavor: Add cranberries, chopped nuts, or sausage for variations.
Adjust Liquid: If the mixture looks dry, add a splash more chicken broth before baking.
Test for Doneness: Ensure the top is golden and slightly crisp before removing from the oven.
