Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl.


Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, parsley, and sage. Sauté until the veggies are soft and cooked through. Add the chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove the skillet from the heat.


Pour the liquid onto the bread cubes and fold together until absorbed. Place the stuffing in a buttered 9" x 13" casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for a half hour. Remove the foil and bake for another half hour.
