Ingredients

2 cups bread cubes
onion
celery stalks
dried sage
butter
thyme
salt and black pepper
chicken broth
parsley

Instructions

Cut the bread slices into small cubes. If the bread is not stale, you can toast the cubes in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until they are slightly crispy. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the sautéed vegetables and herbs.
Pour the chicken broth over the mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Add the bread cubes to the skillet, gently folding them into the mixture until they are well combined and slightly moistened by the broth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the stuffing cook for 5-7 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and the bread to absorb the moisture.
Check the consistency. If you prefer a softer texture, add a bit more broth and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish the stuffing with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve the chicken stuffing hot as a flavorful side dish alongside roast chicken, turkey, or any main course of your choice.
