For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Consider adding browned sausage or cooked mushrooms for added heartiness. Fresh herbs like parsley and rosemary can elevate the aroma and taste. If you don't have water chestnuts, try using toasted pecans or walnuts for a similar textural contrast. The natural pressure release is crucial for preventing the stuffing from becoming mushy.
