Equipment
- liquid measuring cup
- measuring spoons
- large skillet
- large mixing bowl
- 2-quart baking dish
- 6-quart air fryer
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (12-ounce) package herb-flavored classic stuffing mix
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the stuffing mix, chicken broth, egg, and herbs. Melt the remaining butter and add to the stuffing mixture.
- Spoon the mixture in an even layer into a 2-quart baking dish that's been coated with cooking spray and that will fit into the air fryer once you remove the air fryer basket. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Heat the air fryer to 350°F. Add the baking dish to the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for 10 minutes longer or until the top is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F.
