Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups dry bread crumbs
1 onion, chopped

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried rosemary

I'm allergic to apples, so I substituted pears in the stuffing. It turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pear stuffing was the perfect complement.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong. The stuffing was good, though.
