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:

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.

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