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

    Chicken Wing Dip

    Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.

    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...

    Challenges

    Prob one of the toughest part of Restoration Wellness program the past two weeks has been time management for meal Prep. So this week my goal is to focus on that. More meal Prep and less coming home so late bc football in Buffalo or bc of being at rehearsal for my shows and having to still make a whole dinner and then eating late. It’s messing w me making sure I’m done eating 3 hours before bed. So even though I have had a hard time w this, I’m still losing weight and doing great on the plan. But it’s important to fine tune things and be 100%!!! Work in progress over here. Meal prepped this morning for lunch and dinner 💪🏽
