A delightful twist on the classic bread dressing, infused with rich flavors of herbs and butter.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, celery, onion, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Use your hands to gently toss the ingredients for even distribution.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and pour it over the bread mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
Ensure the butter is evenly distributed for a rich flavor.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the mixture, stirring until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
Add the broth slowly to control the texture.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and cover with foil.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Covering with foil helps retain moisture during baking.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
This step adds a crispy texture to the top.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite holiday meal.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley for a festive touch.
