Bruschetta Chicken Casserole

Hi everyone!  I am sorry for my long absence!  But we were very busy getting ready for, and then enjoying our vacation!  We spent two weeks in Italy, and in honor I have an Italian inspired dish!  This is a very easy and tasty weeknight meal. 




Bruschetta Chicken Casserole
* adapted from Kraft.com

 Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite side pieces (I used 3 large breasts)
1 can Italian style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 package Stove Top stuffing, chicken flavor
1/2 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
Shredded mozzarella cheese


Directions:
1.  Heat oven to 400F. 
2.  Place chicken in a layer at the bottom of casserole dish.
3.  Sprinkle chicken with basil and then cheese.  (The recipe originally called for 1 cup of cheese, I didn't use nearly that much!  Use your judgement and taste.)
4.  Mix together Stove Top, water and tomatoes.  Top chicken with stuffing mixture. Sprinkle a little cheese over stuffing.
5.  Bake uncovered for approximately 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
