Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until soft.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables, shredded chicken, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Gradually pour the chicken broth over the mixture while stirring until well moistened.
Mix in the beaten eggs.

Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding shredded cheese on top before baking. You can also use day-old bread for a better texture in the casserole. This dish pairs well with cranberry sauce for a hint of sweetness.
