After I made the Stove Top Stuffing meatloaf last month, several of you mentioned I needed to share the Stove Top Stuffing chicken brushetta recipe too because it was crazy good.
And well, I’m here to report that not only did we try it, the recipe was another winner! I love when that happens. The HH especially loved this dish and promptly had a second serving {as well as gobbled it up the next day for lunch!}.
Sometimes when you read those recipes on the back of a box you’re like… I don’t know. I’m not sure if I want to invest my time and go to all the effort to try it… What if it doesn’t turn out good? Sometimes you have to wait until you get a little nudge from someone else before you’ll give it a try.
So I am here to tell you that the Stove Top stuffing chicken brushetta recipe is worth making. Not once, not twice, but it’s a meal you could add to your monthly meal rotation or happily present to guests or bring to a potluck gathering. Trust me, people will be asking you for the recipe, it’s that good! {And easy to make too!}
So here you go. Make this! You’ll love it.

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ lbs chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 pound of chicken breasts doesn’t seem like much.
Mavis Butterfield says
You’re right. I changed it. 🙂

I make this relatively frequently. I have made a couple of changes though. One pound of chicken seems to be plenty for my family. Also, I add a package of thawed and drained frozen vegetables (either mixed vegetables or broccoli and/or cauliflower) after the chicken and before the cheese. This makes it a complete one dish meal.

I love that idea. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this before and we really enjoyed it too! So yummy, and you wouldn’t think so from the ingredients.
Linda says
I have considered making this. Maybe now I will, adding green beans.
Laura says
I make this recipe often with the following changes- 1 pound of chicken, chicken stock instead of water, 1 tsp garlic powder and add 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar to the mix for some bruschetta tang. I freeze it uncooked, thaw and bake and it’s amazing. My next goal is to make my own homemade stovetop from old sourdough.
Amy says
Will this recipe work if you do not add cheese?
JoAnn Moran says
I don’t know why I over complicate things. I love this stuffing, but had never made this meatloaf before reading your post a couple months ago. It’s so good and so easy. I will definitely try this in the next couple of days. Thanks for the recipe.

Great dish for a cold Sunday. I’ll add veggies too. Yum, yum. Thanks Mavis.
Karyn says
They had stove top for 50cents a box this week so I stocked up after seeing this recipe! Has anyone made the night before and cooked the next night? Wondering if the topping would get weird

I made this as written in the past. This time, I made a change.
This time, I did not cut up the chicken. I laid 4 chicken breasts beside each other in a 9X13 inch baking dish. I covered the chicken with Mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses and then spread the stuffing mixture over the top of it all. I baked it for 40-45 mins then let it rest for a few minutes. We preferred this over the “casserole”. It also made for terrific leftovers. Adding vegetables should still be a viable option. Maybe I’ll try it next time. Bon Apetit!
