Bruschetta Chicken Bake

I've been going through our food storage lately.  I'm trying to organize it and use any food that is about to expire.  We usually have a few boxes of Stove Top stuffing mix because we like it.  I found this recipe on the back of a box of Stove Top.  So, dinner last night was inspired by a box of stuffing. 

Ingredients (printable recipe)
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1  (6 oz.) pkg. Stovetop stuffing mix for chicken (I used low sodium)
1/2 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts,  cut into bite-size pieces
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 cup shredded mozzarella (I used a 50/50 mix of mozzarella and provolone)
Directions
1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.  Mix tomatoes, stuffing, water and garlic together in a medium bowl just until stuffing is moistened. Set aside.
3.  In a 9x13 baking dish, layer chicken, basil, and cheese.
4.  Top with stuffing.  Bake 30 mins. or until chicken is done.
Makes 6 servings


The Results...
We thought Chicken Parmigiana Casserole would also be a good name for this recipe because this tastes very similar to Chicken Parmigiana.  Since we all like Chicken Parmigiana, we also liked this recipe.  My family suggested that next time I should serve this with spaghetti and sauce, too.  I think that's a wonderful idea!  I would also add a little grated Parmesan to the cheese layer or sprinkle it on top when serving.

This just happens to be a great time to stock-up on these stuffing mixes since Thanksgiving is coming up.  I plan to buy a few more boxes this week since they are on sale for $1.00 at my local grocery store.

*I'm not getting paid by Kraft (maker of Stove Top Stuffing) for this post, but I wish I was! :)  We just like Stove Top and we really liked this recipe. 


I share recipes at these linky parties.
