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. 1
      Preheat oven to 400.
    2. 2
      Saute chicken with spices, onion and garlic until lightly browned, but not cooked through.
    3. 3
      Place chicken in a casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese.
    4. 4
      In a bowl, mix tomatoes and stuffing mix, until stuffing mix is moistened.
    5. 5
      Spread stuffing and tomato mixture over chicken and cheese.
    6. 6
      Bake for 30 minutes.

  • My adaptations:

  • 1)We use a lot of frozen precooked chicken b/c we are busy people. My favorite is this product from Wegman's:

  • Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Chicken Breast Strips, Grilled

  • http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&productId=725933
  • 3oz=80 calories, so I use 12oz for this recipe.

  • 2)Be careful of storebought stuffing, most all of it is FULL of nasty crap (HFCS, PH oils, etc). We use this stuffing mix and love it for all things, so yummy.

  • Arrowhead Mills Organic Organic Savory Herb Stuffing

    It is 10oz package, as opposed to stovetop etc, which are 6oz packages, so just measure it out/weigh it to get your 6oz

    Product Review

    Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...

    BBQ Sauce (R1 Approved)

    I've actually been making my own bbq sauce for years. The OG recipe can be found here on this blog even ;) all the way from 2010, ha. But I tweaked it to make it R1 Compliant for my Restoration Wellness plan. This actually makes a LOT so I usually half it (Half of this recipe fills almost 2 Primal Kitchen Ketchup bottles, for reference lol) JEN'S BBQ Sauce (R1 Version) 2C Primal Kitchen ketchup 2C Great Value Organic tomato sauce (or use whatever, just needs to be on plan, no sugar etc) 1 1/4C brown sugar truvia or stevia (I do NOT use this much, start with less esp with stevia bc certain ones have more of an aftertaste. I did about 3/4C of it, 1/4C stevia and 1/2C truvia brown sugar) 1 1/4C apple cider vinegar 2T ON PLAN OIL (I Used Plant based ghee which is avocado/coconut blend) 1/2t garlic powder 1/4t chili powder 1t paprika 1/4t ground cinnamon 1/2t cayenne pepper 1t salt 1t fresh ground black pepper ***you could add some liquid smoke ~1T if you like a smo...

    Sweet Oatmeal Bread

    So far this has been a favorite, it was a very nice bread overall. We enjoy adding a lot of flax and wheat germ and other randomness (seeds, nuts, etc) to our breads, and I don't have any specific measurements for those, just add as you like. Sweet Oatmeal Bread (1.5lb loaf) 1/2C old-fashioned rolled oats 3/4-7/8C water 2T molasses 1T sugar 1t salt 2C bread flour 1 1/2t active dry yeast Place all ingredients in bread pan, using the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe. Select LIGHT CRUST setting Press Start Observe the dough as it kneads. After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch. ***I used delayed timer on this, and the min amount of water, and it turned out fine. I also liked the light crust a lot, it was a good change from the med crusts I have been doing***
