Meal Prep 101: Bruschetta Chicken Bake

 We had this for dinner this past Tuesday.  It was filling but I think it could have used a bit more seasoning - maybe something like Mama Mia or the Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto.  But then it could have been the stuffing mix we used.  Actually, it was the diced tomatoes - I used the plain no salt added.  I seasoned the green beans with Onion Onion and Bacon Bacon.

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp Avocado or Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 Tbsp Magic Chicken Seasoning
• 1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano or diced Italian tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (6 oz) package herb-flavored stuffing mix
• 
  1/2 c water

This was our meal prep for the freezer:

• Combine the chicken, oil, and Magic Chicken Seasoning in a gallon freezer bag.  Mix well.
• Place cheese in a quart freezer bag
• Place tomatoes & water in a quart freezer bag 
• Place all bags and stuffing mix in a 2-gallon freezer bag.
• 
  Seal well, label and freeze.

Cooking Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish (I used a cooking spray).
• 
  Add chicken then top with the cheese
• In a large bowl, combine tomatoes and stuffing mix; stir until moistened.  Spoon over cheese.
• Bake until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant read food thermometer, about 15-20 minutes (or longer, depending on the size of chicken breasts).
• 
  Place under broiler to brown and crisp topping, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Now, I didn't mix the tomatoes & stuffing but layered the stuffing on top of the cheese then poured the tomato mixture over the top.
