Vegan Bruschetta Chicken Bake ~

A simple and savory casserole classic made with all plant-based ingredients!

Easy Weeknight Dinner

The beauty of this casserole is in its simplicity. It comes together in a snap and requires nothing more than an easy salad or roasted broccoli to round out the meal.

Ingredients for Vegan Bruschetta Chicken Bake

  • 20 ounces vegan chicken strips
  • ½ cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces herb-seasoned stuffing mix
  • 14 ounces diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Balsamic vinegar, for serving – optional

Ingredient Notes

  • Vegan Chicken Strips: Unbreaded strips work best for this recipe. If the package includes a sauce packet, toss or save it for another use; you will not need it for this casserole.
  • Italian Salad Dressing: Check the label to make sure yours is dairy-free.
  • Fresh Basil: Fresh is best but 1/3 teaspoon dried basil will work in a pinch.

How to Make Vegan Bruschetta Chicken Bake

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400° F.

STEP TWO: Place the chicken strips in a large bowl. Add the Italian dressing and toss to coat.

STEP THREE: Into a large, deep skillet, over medium-high, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken strips, shaking off any excess dressing. Cook, turning frequently for 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces.

STEP FOUR: In a medium-size mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, stuffing mix, tomatoes with liquid, water, basil, and garlic. Stir gently, just enough to lightly coat all the stuffing mix.

STEP FIVE: Pour the mixture into a prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and Italian seasoning.

STEP SIX: Bake for 30 minutes, until the stuffing is lightly crisp. Drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar, if using, and serve hot.
