4 quarts challah, cubed
Preheat oven to 350°F.
On cookie sheets toast the bread cubes for 15 minutes or so or until the challah is golden. Transfer to a very large bowl.
Bone the poached chicken and finely chop the meat, discarding the skin. You can do this in your food processor while chicken is still warm, but I like mine a little chunkier than the processor makes it. Add the chopped vegetables and chicken meat to the bread, along with all the seasonings. Toss well.
In a medium bowl beat the eggs, then add the broth. Pour over the bread mixture and blend. The mixture will be quite moist. Allow to stand about an hour.
Transfer the entire mixture to a greased 3-quart casserole or whatever will hold all of it. At this point though you can freeze the mixture for future use.
Bake the dressing for 2 hours, or until the center of the dressing puffs up and is golden brown on top.
