Chicken Bruschetta Bake

I found this recipe a long time ago, when K and I started making our lifestyle change. I found it via WW but I've seen variations all over the web. It's a very simple, almost comfort food classic, super easy and quick to make and yummy :) My tweaks are noted at the end! This makes 4 servings Chicken Bruschetta Bake 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 garlic cloves , minced 1 onion , chopped 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese , shredded 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes , undrained 1 (6 ounce) package chicken stuffing mix Directions: 1 Preheat oven to 400. 2 Saute chicken with spices, onion and garlic until lightly browned, but not cooked through. 3 Place chicken in a casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese. 4 In a bowl, mix tomatoes and stuffing mix, until stuffing mix is moistened. 5 Spread stuffing and tomato mixture over chicken and cheese. 6 Bake for 30 minutes.
