Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place whole wheat bread slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until dry and crispy. Allow to cool, then cut or tear into 1/2-inch cubes.
Finely chop the onion and celery stalks.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the low sodium chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the sage, thyme, black pepper, and fresh parsley.
Remove the skillet from heat. Gradually add the bread cubes, stirring gently until they absorb the liquid and are evenly coated.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the stuffing sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
