Call for Stuffing Recipes

[neadods]

Having hosed Christmas dinner two years in a row (long story), Mother decided that we were doing chicken instead of turkey and I decided to spend the next 12 months practicing.

I've learned stock and broth making forwards and backwards (I've got quite the library of them now, waiting in the fridge and freezer for instant soup). I've roasted good chickens both upright and spatchcocked (which is, IMO, better and faster).

Now I need to start learning stuffing, aka dressing in certain parts of the States. It's not that I don't know how, it's that with Dad's heart issues, the family standby (which includes sausage) has been ruled out as having too much salt.

So hit me with your stuffing/dressing recipes! Bread-based, cornbread-based, rice or fruit based - hit me with 'em all.

Another good chicken-and-lemon recipe: Coca Cola chicken. Brown a bunch of chicken pieces (thighs are best). Slice a big onion and put it in the pan. with the chicken Slice two big lemons (with the peel still on) and put them in the pan. Add real Coca Cola (NOT diet) to not quite cover. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer till the chicken is falling off the bone and the onion & lemon have nearly melted into the sauce. Optional: garnish with parsley & lemon zest. Serve with lots of bread, rice, or other good sauce-soaking medium.

The magic is in the combination of the lemon and real Coke -- when you cook it long enough in a savory dish, the herbal complexity of the formula really starts to shine. Pepsi is a poor-but-just-about-adequate substitute, other brands don't work well at all. Mexican or Kosher-for-Passover Coke made with real sugar are best.

Oooo! I've had Coke pot roast, but not Coke chicken.

Hmmm... I'll keep an eye out and see if I can get the Passover version with real sugar to try this with. Love the idea, but am trying to avoid HF Corn Syrup.
