2. Add chopped celery and onion.

3. Pour in melted butter.

Helpful Cooking Tips

1. Use chicken breasts of similar size so they cook evenly.

2. Do not add too much broth; the stuffing should be moist, not watery.

3. Use low-sodium chicken broth if you prefer less salt.

4. Add extra celery for more texture and freshness.

5. Shred the chicken while it is still warm.

6. For a richer flavor, add an extra tablespoon of butter.

7. If the stuffing becomes too thick, stir in a little warm chicken broth.

8. Always check the chicken’s internal temperature before serving.

• Freezer: Freeze in individual portions for up to 2–3 months.
