Easy Bruschetta Chicken Bake

On a whim the other day I picked up a box of Stove top stuffing mix for chicken. It had a recipe on the back that I thought sounded good. I made it tonight and it was tasty and easy, my two favorite things.

Ingedients:
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg Stovetop stuffing mix for chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces (I used pounded chicken breasts, but you could also use chicken tenders)
1 tsp dried basil leaves (I used some of this and also italian seasoning)
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400. Place tomatoes with their liquid in medium bowl. Add stuffing mix, 1/2 C hot water and the garlic; stir just until stuffing mix is moistened. Set aside
2. Place chicken in 13x9" baking dish, sprinkle with basil & cheese (I also drizzled mine with olive oil & added a little italian seasoning & sea salt); the recipe on the back of the box just called for Mozzarella cheese, but I used a little bit of shredded Parmesan too.
3. Top the chicken with the prepared stuffing (I also added a little more parmesan cheese on top of the stuffing mix).
4. Bake for 30 min or until chicken is cooked through.
