Celery Stuffed Roast Chicken

There will only be my Auntie and I for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year so instead of a huge turkey we're going to share this. There certainly will still be plenty of leftovers for both us too.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups stale bread, torn in pieces including the crust
• 6 Tbsp. butter
• 3 cups celery, diced
• 2 Tbsp. onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. sage
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in large saucepan and add celery and onion. Cook while stirring until soft and yellow. Add bread and seasonings and toss together until well mixed. Allow to cool. Add the liquid and mix lightly. Stuff in to the dressed chicken and bake for 2 to 2 1/4 hours.

Don't forget to make the gravy ;-)
