Not bad. I only made two adjustments – added 2 cups of cheese and half water half OOVO. Probably didn’t need the extra cheese. Good meal if you are in a pinch and need something around chicken breasts.
I used fresh tomatoes from my garden. I also used half evoo & water with chopped up fresh basil. I marinated my chicken in some Italian dressing. I also used a 1 – 1 lb bag of mozzarella. Can this dish be made ahead of time? Can it be frozen?
This is fantastic. I’m so glad I doubled the recipe. Everyone loves it. I made it with boneless skinless thighs. I used 1 can crushed and one can diced tomatoes with juice, lots of garlic and Italian seasoning and I used one can cream of celery soup, and no additional water. Tip: to make cutting chicken easy. place frozen chicken in the refrigerator overnight and cut soft frozen the next day:
Will definitely make it again. Kept to the original recipe, but added more cheese and half EVOO half water as recommended. Very good!!
Easy recipe, only change I made fried onion, garlic, peppers, and cubed chicken in olive oil until onions were transparent . Put chicken mixture down, topped with small can diced tomatoes with green chilies, cheese and then the stuffing mixture.
the chicken bake is good but i also tried it with sausage and that was really good.
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quick, easy, and inexpensive. I used Italian style diced tomatoes, and I didn’t measure the salt, just salted the chicken. I also didn’t measure the Italian seasoning, just added some in. And didn’t measure the cheese, just covered the chicken before spreading the stuffing mix, so I probably used way more. It was good, and I have leftovers for my lunch at work tomorrow. Will make this again.
I do like this recipe. I’ve used it for years. It’s on the stove top stuffing box
I added smoked sausage and more mozzarella cheese to the recipe and my family loved it.
no changes. quick, easy, cheap and taste great. Even my picky wife loves it. on my regular rotation.
Very tasty and quick! I think next time might add more tomatoes
I did not make any changes!! I am made it several several times, and my boyfriend and his friends love it! In fact, he keeps asking me to I could at least twice a month!
Baked at 400 in oiled casserole dish and bottom burnt hard at 30 minutes exactly. Followed recipe exact ingredients and steps. A waste of my chicken breast. I gave it 3 stars because we did salvage to eat it, but I would not make again.
Very flavorful. Made it exactly as is in the recipe. Chicken cubes were cooked perfectly after 30 min. despite still being a little frozen. I will make this again.
Really good
This is a delicious recipe that I’ve made many times.
Sorry folks my family (and me). Weren’t fans of this dish. It was dry and tasted like just another chicken casserole. Nothing special.
This recipe is awesome. I made it exactly as told. Other than I didn’t have the right ounce of tomatoes I had a larger can so I used it and omitted the water. I did add mushrooms. This recipe can be switched up so many was.. thank you for sharing.
I added the extra ingredients that the other reviewers suggested. I would highly recommend cooking the chicken first! It’s hard to tell when the chicken is cooked through. I baked for 35 minutes and it was still raw in spots. I had to microwave at the end. Disappointing.
this is the Kraft recipe. It’s always a good dinner
Easy, quick, and delicious. Recipe written as provided leftovers for myself and my fiancé.
