ingredients
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 12 slices whole wheat bread, cubed*
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons light butter
- 1 cup diced onion
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

- 2 tablespoons chives, fresh, chopped
directions
- * Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 4-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
- * Arrange bread cubes on a large ungreased baking sheet in a single layer (use 2 baking sheets if there’s not enough room). Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bread from oven and set aside; leave oven set to 350ºF.
- * Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and butter together for 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion and celery; sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add thyme, sage, salt and pepper; stir to coat. Cook until herbs are fragrant, about 1 minute.
- * Transfer onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add bread, broth and chives; toss to combine. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish and cover with foil; bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Divide into 8 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.
- Notes.
- *Leave the bread bag open and somewhat uncovered for 1 to 2 days (at room temperature) before making the recipe.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite bread, such as whole grain, sourdough or a light variety (could affect POINTS values).
- For added flavor, you can also add about 1 cup of diced Granny Smith or McIntosh apples to the stuffing (could affect POINTS values).
- You can make this stuffing in advance and bake it just before serving. The stuffing will last up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
