I have made hundreds of stuffings/dressings over the years. I have never made one with water chestnuts before.
I used just plain white bread for the bread cubes. I toasted the bread lightly in the oven before cubing it.
The seasonings are great – perfectly balanced. The poultry seasoning and the chicken stock give it the chikeny flavor.
The water chestnuts provide a lovely crunch. In hindsight I wish I had maybe diced them. I liked the crunch and flavor, but maybe it would have been nicer had it been smaller pieces. I think this would have helped it blend in better too.
Overall this was a good side dish. I served it with the Wendy’s Chicken, a very nice combination!
WATER CHESTNUT DRESSING
½ Loaf Lightly Toasted Cubed Bread
1 ½ Cups Chicken Stock
2 Tablespoons Butter
¼ Teaspoon Pepper
½ Teaspoon Salt
1 Small Onion, Chopped
1 Can Water Chestnuts, Sliced Thin
1 Teaspoon Parsley Flakes
1 Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
Place bread in well buttered casserole dish. Heat stock, pour over bread. Mix remainder of ingredients and toss with bread. Bake in casserole for 1 ½ hours at 350 degrees. When golden brown, cover with foil and continue cooking.
