Diced brioche gives the traditional bread filling a light, creamy flavor, while dried cherries add a surprising tartness to the complex flavor. Celery, leeks, and apples add a rich, juicy texture and make a wonderful complement to your holiday turkey or chicken. The side dish is baked separately from the chicken, so you can easily double the recipe.
