Preheat oven to 350F. In large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chestnuts, onion, bell peppers and celery, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 7 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
Add bread cubes and seasonings to bowl, and toss to mix. Gradually add broth, and toss to mix. (Stuffing should be moist, but not wet.)
