Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Really good, BUT.....!!!

janalo - June 26, 2007 06:33:37 AM PST

This is good. I added mushrooms, onions and peppers to the chicken on the bottom because I just love those things in any casserole type dish.

HOWEVER... the nutritional information is ALL wrong. I believe they left out the chicken. It is actually about 240 calories and 6 grams of fat rather than 140 and 2. Since I'm on Weight Watchers, this mattered to me. And unfortunately, I didn't stop to figure it out until I'd already eaten two servings instead of one because it was so low!

Will have it again

This was good and quick. I thought the stovetop a little overpowering, but not much you can do about that. We will have it again. If you enter the name of the recipe into Google, it will take you to Kraft and you can get the sodium and correct calories, etc.

Yummo! ...as Rachel would say!

jax5 - October 2, 2007 05:01:24 AM PST

This has become a favorite with my family, especially my two teenagers. It ends up with a little bit of a pizza taste. I have also tried skipping the step of adding the spices on top of the chicken and replaced it with using a can of Italian flavored diced tomatoes. I make sure I stock up on Stove Top Stuffing and diced tomatoes when they are on sale and then I always have the ingredients on hand.

Nutritional Info Incorrect

bbwfwb - October 3, 2007 09:45:57 PM PST

Stuffing and cheese, NOT 2 grams of carbs. Beware, do your own label reading and calculations when looking at any receipe. This was very misleading for carb watchers, very misleading. Also fat and protein information was incorrect.

This is a great tasting, easy to fix dinner. I serve with a green salad or steamed green beans. I like the blend of spices

Quick and Easy

Heather - October 1, 2007 07:24:27 PM PST

This was a wonderful dish that was on the table under 1hr.
My family loved it, the only thing I did to it was add extra garlic.

It is hard to incorporate a marinara tasting dish into our meals because my husband doesn't like it but he enjoyed this one.

Thanks for the quick and easy recipe. I will make it again.

the carb count is ALL WRONG!

ladyc - July 8, 2008 02:51:31 PM PST

stove top alone has 21 carbs, so divide by 6 servings that's 3 1/2. Then add the tomato sauce that has over 3 carbs for serving. (14 per 14oz can) Cheese has one carb per serving. You are way off. That's 7 carbs already!

nutrition info

Katie P - July 8, 2008 01:53:22 PM PST

The nutritional info on here is all wrong. I went to google like another person suggested and found the recipe on the krafts website it should be Cal 310 Carbs 25g Dietary Fiber 2g Fat 7g protein 33g and suger 4g. In case any of you were wondering how this was so healthy.

It will do.......

nanners72 - October 14, 2007 12:23:08 AM PST

For a quick need to make dinner in a hurry, if the chicken breasts are thawed, kinda meal.

I tired this because the receipe sounded so good, but made it tonight and we all thought it was ok, and my 3 yr old daughter who eats everything, took a bite but spit it out (and I'm a great cook). I don't know I might try it, but change some things to help it.
I just don't know how it got so many great reviews.

Great recipe!

linzlou83 - October 3, 2007 09:35:56 AM PST

I've made this recipe a few times and found that it takes a little longer than it says to cook the chicken all the way through. More like an hour. Definitely a family favorite!

Won

TERRI C - October 3, 2007 02:53:25 AM PST

I guess some will like it and some won't. We didn't. It might have been better if the tomato's were drained. But if you like Tomato taste in every bite and your stuffing to taste like Tomato then this is for you! It was very easy to make and I had everything in the house to make it. Maybe I will try again without the tomato's.

BTW...there is nothing Bruschetta about this!

Hope you enjoy it.

sodium

jf_eklund - October 1, 2007 03:43:42 PM PST

too bad there is no sodium info on these recipes. I guess if you have to ask, there's too much. :-(

Bruschetta???

Erin H - October 1, 2007 03:08:24 PM PST

I think they are considering the stuffing to be the bread portion of the bruschetta and the other ingredients to be like the topping... not even close, but I guess they wanted to give it a fancy name.

Scanty nutritional information

maryg - October 3, 2007 04:49:01 AM PST

I WAS going to try this recepie because it sounds and looks good but I need more, and more reliable nutritional information. If the calories and fat amounts are correct I would probably want to add more meat. Also, I need (insist on) AT LEAST the following additional nutritional information: fat breakdown (saturated, trans. poly., mono.), cholesterol, sodium and potassium.

Delish!

Kristen R - July 21, 2008 01:19:13 PM PST

Not only did I love this, but so did my husband and my VERY PICKY sister, who doesn't eat anything. I took a reviewer's comment from below and added Balsalmic Vinegar. I also used a Garlic Pepper grinder all over the chicken, used the tomatoes with onions, and added lots of garlic. Also, I bought the Whole Wheat Stove Top. I will definitely be making this again!!!

Nutritional information incorrect

kristarolleri - July 21, 2008 09:28:26 AM PST

Don't get me wrong, this is a great dish. But unfortunately, yahoo has listed the nutritional information incorrectly. I have tried to find someone to email about this, but can't so I am posting it in review. On yahoo, the carb count for this item is listed as 2. However when I was making it, I noticed how high the carb count was on the stuffing mix (an ingredient) and thought how can this be? I went to the official kraftfoods.com site and found the recipe. The carb count is actually 25 for this item! Biiiiig difference. I bought all the stuff and made the dish, but had to give it to neighbors to eat since our house is low carb :( I guess the fact that it was a kraft recipe should have tipped me off that it probably wasn't low carb ;) oh well! Hopefully I will have better luck next time!

radlb - July 8, 2008 01:48:16 PM PST

I count carbs, and I cannot believe that the carbs are so low when there's bread stuffing in this recipe!

Charlotte - October 6, 2007 06:10:18 PM PST

We had the bruschetta for dinner tonight with a spinach salad. I would definately make again. I did add some peppers and onions (frozen mix) as another reviewer suggested. Really enjoyed.

Stove Top Alternative

flamingolady52 - October 6, 2007 07:25:39 AM PST

Pepperidge makes a nice bagged stuffing mix. They have a few with whole wheat bread too. I think it has less sodium also. I haven't tried it yet but I want to give it a try.

I made this the other night and my family loved it! I also added mushrooms and I used italian spices on the chicken instead of basil ( just b/c I didn't have any basil leaves). It was great and we will have it again!

not real good

anesserrnz - October 3, 2007 05:53:49 PM PST

I know how to cook and follow recipes very well, but this was not a hit. My boys were very kind and did eat it, but no one enjoyed it at all. There was something in the spice that wasn't quite right, and it was very dry. The tomatoes were a little too tart, which may have been the brand. Maybe everyone that enjoyed it tweaked it a little, but I followed the recipe to a tee. I will have to read the suggestions.

Niki - October 3, 2007 12:49:47 PM PST

I'm not the best cook, but this was so easy instead of using fresh garlic and basil, I just used the Hunt's diced tomatoes with garlic basil and onion in it. it turned out awesome!!! Thanks

Kbabe1968 - September 29, 2008 09:26:11 AM PST

I substituted the tomatoes with a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Instead of basil I used dried cilantro, cumin and chili powder to toss with the chicken. I also used Colby Jack instead of Mozzarella. HUGE hit in my house. :D

This is great for people who are always busy and rarely get the chance to cook. I loved the stove top and the cheese. It was great tasting and a healthier option for busy on the go cookers like me!

germhaze - July 24, 2008 06:50:00 AM PST

This was good (not fantastic) but a keeper recipe for busy days, because it was so darn easy to make! And my family ate it up, with them fighting over who got the leftovers! I did make my own adjustments though. I used Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing mix, I sauteed onions and peppers to add to the chicken, and I mixed a little pesto in with the tomato/stuffing mix. I think that really helped the flavor. And I added extra garlic, because we are a garlic-lovin' family! The nutritional info may be wrong, but if you use portion control, you'll be fine. Oh, and I also used less cheese than it called for, and used a Parmesan/Asiago blend, which has a little more flavor than mozzarella.

very tasty

abo1029 - July 21, 2008 02:32:35 PM PST

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. Next time we will add crushed red pepper to give it some heat. It is also good made with ground Italian seasoned turkey.
