Ingredients
  • 1 loaf (1 1/2 pounds) firm white bread, crust removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 3/4 cup (about 11 ounces) chopped dried plums
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cup chopped onions
  • 1 pound (about 4 cups) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • nonstick cooking spray
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a shallow baking pan, arrange the bread cubes in an even layer; bake until the bread is very dry and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the bread, dried plums, and parsley; set aside. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook and stir the onions until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms, celery, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; continue cooking until the mushrooms are browned and celery is crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the wine; cook until the liquid evaporates, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the bread mixture; toss to combine. Gradually add the chicken broth, being careful not to make the stuffing too moist.
  4. Lightly coat a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spoon in the stuffing; cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove the foil; bake until the top is crisp and golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
