Bruschetta Chicken Salad Beef a Roo
Bruschetta Chicken Bake is a quick and easy, cheesy casserole, topped with a zesty bruschetta, and a crunchy topping. Whip it up in 40 minutes for an easy to make one dish dinner the whole family will love!
Bruschetta Chicken Bake
This Bruschetta Chicken Bake is a delightful combination of a comfy casserole and flavorful Italian bruschetta! It is a simple meal that is just pack to the brim with flavor.
It has bite-sized tender chicken pieces smothered in gooey mozzarella cheese, with a little Parmesan too, because why not. On top, there's a fresh homemade bruschetta and crunchy topping. It seems so flavorful, you would never guess that it was made by dumping it all in one pan.
Bruschetta Chicken Bake is also a yummy freezer meal, so I've included instructions for freezing in the recipe below.
Can You Use Canned Tomatoes?
Yes! You can use 2 (15 ounce) cans canned tomatoes, half drained. This is a great option if tomatoes are out of season.
What to Serve with Bruschetta Chicken Bake
This is one of those awesome casseroles that already has a meat, cheese, vegetable, and carb. So it pretty much covers your bases.
If you'd like to stretch this casserole a little more for a bigger group, we like to serve it with a fresh Caesar salad (salad kits are bomb for this!) or a quick stovetop vegetable like these buttery green beans with shallots.
You can also serve it on top of white or brown rice, quinoa, or on spaghetti noodles seasoned with butter and Parmesan.

-
Bake in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
- Balsamic vinaigrette: If you don't have any, substitute 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
- Stuffing Mix: I usually use the herbed mix or the chicken mix for this recipe.
- Roma tomatoes: These are the best to use because they're juicy, red, ripe, and flavorful. If tomatoes are out of season, and you're trying to avoid watery tomatoes, use 2 cans of diced tomatoes, half drained.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
- Freezer Directions: Prepare casserole. Stop before baking. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking. Bake time will likely need to be increased by about 5-8 minutes to account for the dish going in cold.
