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...

    Here we go again...

    Trying something new. Hijacked my recipe blog to post my thoughts about round 5829 of weight loss. I feel like I wanted a new space, and I love LJ, and might cross-post or whatever, but I want to blog daily about my journey just in this.  This is different this time, and yet it's the same old same old, at the same time. What? But it is. And it isn't. And I am frustrated, and annoyed, but finally to the point of moving forward, which is always good.  Here's the thing. I gained a little over 50lbs with my pregnancy with Lachlan.  Before that, I had gained about 20lbs, trying to figure out what I wanted to weigh, where I liked what I looked like, and basically just get my head not so effed up when it comes to food addiction.  So really, ultimately, by the end of my pregnancy with Lachlan, in March 2012, I was up about 70lbs from my absolutely lowest ever of 145lbs.  I had so many feelings surrounding all of this, and right after I had Lac...

    Another Job!!!

    I decided recently that while I adore teaching and training hooping, the passion for me lies in HOOPING, not in being a FITNESS instructor, kwim? So I have been reevaluating what that means for me/our business etc. I decided I wanted to focus more on the nutrition component for the morbidly obese/those just changing their lifestyles to prioritize healthy eating for the long term. I have many things already in place, as this has been on my heart since I changed my lifestyle-I am in my junior year of completing my degree in Exercise Science with a specialty in nutrition. I am SafeServ certified. I am a certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. So on and so forth. Once I decided this (literally last week, I finally just accepted this was on my heart, even though it feels scary, this "unknown"-I know how to be a fitness instructor after almost 4 years!!). It also feels scary because it means I will only teach hoop classes and not contribute towards our business with any of ...
