Finding Fitness at 50

Journey to Better Health

Quick, easy and low-fat recipe …

I had company this past weekend – three young women who I taught as eighth-graders. They are 40 now.

I’d told them if they wanted junk food they’d have to buy their own.

My friend Kim shared a recipe she makes for her family and it was a hit with all of us. It’s quick and easy and healthful. 

Served with green beans and a salad, it makes a great meal.

Bruschetta Chicken Bake

1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (6-ounce) package Stove Top stuffing mix (chicken or Italian)

1/2 cup water2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon dried basil or 3 to  4 leaves fresh basil, chopped

1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, stuffing mix, water and garlic. Set aside. Cut the raw chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.

In a lightly sprayed 9×13-inch pan, place the chicken. Sprinkle chicken with basil and cheese. Top with stuffing/tomato mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.
