Bruschetta Chicken Bake

This weeknight casserole is so great because it is made with UNCOOKED chicken, a real time saver.  Young and old gobble this one up.  -Ellen

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained.  I like the fire roasted ones.

1 clove garlic minced

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

3/4 cup  hot water

1 pkg. (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing.  I like the whole wheat variety

1.5 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 teaspoon dried basil

salt and pepper

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Place tomatoes with liquid in a medium bowl.  Stir in garlic, balsamic vinegar, and hot water.  Add stuffing mix and stir just until moistened. (Important to do this first because the stuffing needs to soak up the liquid).  Set aside.

Place cut-up raw chicken in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with basil.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle with the cheeses.

Top with prepared stuffing mixture.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
