Bruschetta Chicken Bake Is A New Family Favorite that can be made 3 Ways!!
I’m so very excited that this dish can be prepared in 3 different ways making it a versatile recipe that will grace your table for the years to come. You can make this in the oven, in the crock pot or in the instant pot. How cool is that!!
I’ve enjoyed making this Bruschetta Chicken Bake all three ways, on nights when we want traditional comfort food and I have the time I like to assemble and bake this in a 13 x 9 pan with a wonderful crispy cheesy topping that is browned to perfection. I use a glass pan like this one.
Or when I have to run and need something for my Crockpot like this one, I can just layer everything set it and forget it … Dinner is done when we come in the door!
When we need quick and easy, I scoot my Instant Pot Duo60 out and put this Bruschetta Chicken Bake in and process for 15 minutes on high with 10 minutes of Natural Pressure release for dinner lickity split!!
How this Bruschetta Chicken Bake Fits Your Trim Healthy Mama Lifestyle
This Bruschetta Chicken Casserole is a wonderfully satisfying meal. Pairing it with a yummy side salad makes for a filling meal that fits well within an S meal setting. By using a Fuel Pull bread you are adding a wonderful source of fiber and minimizing the carbs so that you can enjoy the cheesy goodness in this dish.
Filled with protein from boneless skinless chicken some diced tomatoes, onion spices and some creamy mozzarella cheese you are going to love this new bruschetta chicken casserole.
One of my favorite on plan fuel pull breads is this Basic Low Carb Yeast Bread. You can also use this Simple Soda Bread. Both of these make amazing toasted bread cubes.

Could I use WWBB instead of the bread in this recipe?

Yes
Jill says
Can you make ahead and freeze this already assembled? Or would you separate some ingredients and freeze separately? I’m concerning about mixing the bread cubes with the tomato, water, garlic and then freezing.
Judy says
Personally I would mix the tomato, water garkic and the bread cubes at the time you are baking.
