Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.

• Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until browned, 20 to 30 more minutes. Top with the reserved scallion greens.
