bruschetta chicken bake

A copy of 'what's cooking'...Kraft's fall recipe publication showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I decided to try the dish featured on the front cover before the book was put away and forgotten...and I'm so glad I did! It's quick and simple...and can also be made ahead and refrigerated. 


Bruschetta Chicken Bake
1 19 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg. (120 g) Stove Top stuffing mix for chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp basil leaves
1 cup Tex/Mex shredded cheese

Mix tomatoes, stuffing mix, garlic and basil.
(I used fresh basil...it adds a wonderful flavour.)
Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and spread in 13x9-inch pan.
Cover with stuffing mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 30 minutes at 375F...or until chicken is cooked through.
Enjoy now...or cover and refrigerate to serve later.

Serve with a green salad and enjoy.

*Editor's Note:  Be sure to use a 19 oz / 540 ml can of tomatoes, not the smaller 14 oz...or the bruschetta topping will be dry.

  13. So I just made this last night for dinner, but it was really dry. Was I supposed to prepare the stuffing before adding all the other ingredients? Thanks.

  14. Kristal...sorry to hear your chicken bake was on the dry side! I haven't made it since I posted it...but went back to check the original recipe.

    No, the stuffing is not prepared first. Maybe I will add a little more liquid next time as well. Thanks for the 'heads up'.
