chicken bruschetta bake
if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well.
i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days.
1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand)
1/2 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 pounds skinless chicken cut into bite sized pieces (not cooked)
1 tsp. dried basil (have also used fresh)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
place tomatoes with their liquid in medium bowl. add stuffing mix, water, and garlic. stir til moistened and set aside. place chicken in 13x9 dish. sprinkle with basil and cheese. top with stuffing mix.
bake for 30 min at 400
super easy, fairly frugal, and yummy!!
