Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Hello all! I have been neglegent! We had company over the weekend and I am just now getting back into the swing of life. For those of you who don't know, I homeschool my two oldest children. By the time school is finished, it's time for chores or errands. Days go very fast and nights even faster!!!

Here's a recipe I found while looking thru one of my magazines. It is from the Kraft Food & Family Mailer. This looks so delicious, it will be on my menu next week! It boasts of being "company" friendly too! It sure looks easy!


Bruschetta Chicken Bake

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 6 oz. package Stovetop Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1/2 cup water
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 lb. boneless/skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Place tomatoes with their juice into a medium bowl. Add stuffing mix, water and garlic. Stir until just moistened. Set aside.

Place chicken in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish, sprinkle with basil and cheese. Top with stuffing mixture.

Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through



Imagine the possibilities!!! For example - change the stuffing mix to Cornbread, the tomatoes to diced tomatoes with green chiles, the basil to dried cilantro and the cheese to Monterey Jack and VIOLA!!! MEXICAN stuffing bake!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMM. Enjoy.
