Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds bread use good-quality, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  2. 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, skinless poached
  3. 1/2 cup parsley leaves minced fresh
  4. 3/4 cup onions chopped
  5. 1 cup celery chopped
  6. 1 cup carrots shredded
  7. 1 1/4 cups potatoes finely chopped and boiled
  8. 1 tablespoon sage leaves
  9. 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  10. 1 teaspoon thyme dried
  11. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  12. 1/2 tablespoon turmeric
  13. 5 large eggs
  14. 12 ounces evaporated milk
  15. 2 1/2 cups chicken broth preferably homemade

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  2. On 2 cookie sheets, toast the bread cubes for 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
  3. Transfer to a very large mixer bowl.
  4. Bone the chicken and very finely chop the meat, discarding the skin.
  5. (I do this in the food processor while chicken is still warm.)
  6. Add the chopped vegetables and chicken meat to the bread, along with the seasonings.
  7. Toss.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; add the evaporated milk and broth.
  9. Pour over the bread mixture and blend.
  10. The mixture will be quite moist.
  11. Allow to stand 1 hour.
  12. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  13. Transfer the dressing to an oiled 3 quart glass casserole that is 10 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep (at this point, dressing can be frozen for future use; thaw before baking.)
  14. Bake dressing for 2 hours, or until the center of the dressing puffs up and is golden brown on top.
