Bruchetta Chicken Casserole
I saw this recipe on a blog I follow called CleanFoodCrush and it looked delicious. I read some of the reviews and decided to adapt the recipe so that it would have more flavor and fit what our family likes a little better. This is casserole has a wonderful fresh taste and has all the veggies already built-in!
Ingredients:
1 package Campari tomatoes (about 8 or so or 5-6 Roma tomatoes), washed, quartered, and seeds removed
1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts or tenderloins cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings: salt, pepper, Italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, onion powder
4 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
4 cups spinach, roughly chopped
1/4 cup herbed feta (optional but adds good flavor)
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350.
Heat oil in a pan to medium-high.
Season chicken well on both sides and cook in a pan with half of the garlic until almost done.
Spray a 2quart baking dish with cooking spray and add chicken to the dish.
In the same pan, add remaining garlic, tomatoes, and spinach and cook just a couple of minutes until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are starting to soften.
Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the tomato/spinach mixture leaving the extra liquid in the pan and spread it over top of the chicken in the baking dish.
Top with feta and Mozzerella.
Bake about 20 minutes.
