Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 6 cups Day-old bread cubes
- 1 cup Celery
- 1 cup Onion
- 1 stick Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the water and let them cool. Once cool, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, bread cubes, shredded chicken, and fresh parsley (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, eggs, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and chicken mixture. Stir everything together until the bread is well moistened. Add extra chicken broth if the mixture looks too dry.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Bake the dressing in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
