How to Make Stove Top Stuffing

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of minced yellow onion and 1 teaspoon of celery seed to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon dried sage, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  4. Add the onion mixture from the pan to the herb mixture in the bowl. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of melted butter.
  6. Add 4 cups of bread crumbs (day-old bread works best) to the pan. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined and the bread is moistened.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and the bread is tender.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
