Ingredients

1 Pepperidge Farm Stuffing
2 stalks celery cleaned and chopped
½ medium onion diced; about ½ cup
2 eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon rubbed sage
½ cup warm water
Baking spray such as Pam
1 whole chicken breast
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Any other spices you like to add

Instructions

In a large bowl mix the stuffing (or GF bread cubes), celery, onion, eggs, butter, sage and warm water until thoroughly combined.
Line a roasting pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with baking spray.
Dump the wet stuffing mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Lay the chicken breast over the top of the stuffing.
Drizzle chicken with olive oil.
Spread the garlic on the chicken.
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and any additional spices of your choosing.
Bake at 350°F about an hour until the chicken is done.

Notes

Note 1: If you would like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe, marinate the chicken for at least an hour in about ¼ cup olive oil before placing it on top of the stuffing to bake. Add minced garlic to the oil for added flavor. Remove the chicken from the oil before placing it on top of the stuffing. Leave it coated with oil, but allow the excess oil to drip back into the marinade before placing it on the stuffing. Throw the used olive oil marinade away.

Note 2: Gluten-free stuffing mix can be substituted for wheat-based stuffing mix without additional changes to the recipe.

Note 3: You can also use a whole chicken and stuff the inside with the dressing. However, cooking time will be longer, probably double (2 hours) this way.
