# Caterer's Buffet Chicken Dish

## Ingredients

- 5 lbs chicken (bone in, skin on)
- 1 carrot
- 2 onions
- 1 loaf 2-day old bread
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 Tbsp parsley
- 2 large celery stalks, diced
- 1 Tbsp poultry seasoning or sage
- 3 tsp salt (divided)
- Dash pepper
- 1 cup fat from broth
- 4 cups & 6 Tbsp chicken broth (divided) (Note: This results from cooking the chicken)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 pkg frozen peas

## Instructions

1. Simmer chicken in 2 quarts water with carrot and onion until done.
2. Cool in liquid, drain, and cube the chicken.
3. Cube bread. Sauté in butter with parsley, onion, and celery. Cook 5 minutes.
4. Combine with bread, salt and pepper, sage, and mix with 6 Tbsp broth.
5. Skim 1 cup fat from broth and melt in pan. Stir in flour until smooth.
6. Heat 4 cups broth and 1 cup milk in pan. Add broth mixture and 2 tsp salt to fat mixture.
7. Cook until thick.
8. Add some of the hot mixture to 4 beaten eggs to temper, add egg mixture to hot mixture, and cook over low heat 3 minutes more.
9. In a baking dish, combine a layer of sautéed bread stuffing and 1/2 of the sauce.
10. Add chicken and peas, then pour on remaining sauce.
11. Top with sautéed bread.
12. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

Editor's Note: "1 cup fat from broth" = schmaltz skimmed from simmering liquid. If you don't get that much from cooking the chicken, substitute 1 cup butter for modern preparation, though flavor depth will differ.
