A wonderful dish, Michele! I made it exactly as you stated using Chardonnay for the wine. This dish is easy to assemble and so full of flavor. Changing the type of stuffing mix (say an herb stuffing) can give variety to the dish. Although I loved the corn bread stuffing with it. Thank you for sharing this. :-)

Yum! We thought this was some of the tastiest stuffing ever. It was clean out the pantry time, so we used chicken flavored stuffing place of the cornbread, and the the gruyere paired with it perfectly. In fact, the stuffing was so good that we plan on making it by itself for Thanksgiving next year. We left the butter out and had no regrets. As for the chicken, it was fine, but not nearly as spectacular as the stuffing.
