This casserole starts off with a base of everything bagel pieces topped with chicken in a herb and garlic cream cheese mixture.
The dish is finished off with a bruschetta mixture and finely grated mozzarella cheese.
I started by cutting the bagels into bite size pieces and spreading them evenly in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Then I heated some herb and garlic cream cheese in a saucepan with some cream and whisked it until it was smooth.
I dumped in my precooked chicken, stirred it and then set it aside.
I prepared my bruschetta mixture by combining diced Roma tomatoes with red onions, Parmesan and basil pesto.
It is important to remove the juice and seeds from your tomatoes or your bruschetta will be runny.
The chicken and cream cheese mixture was spread over the bagels followed by the bruschetta mixture.
Finely grated mozzarella cheese was sprinkled over everything and the casserole was baked in the oven for about thirty minutes.
This is an easy dinner the whole family will love.
The bagels are slightly crispy and the chicken is nice and creamy.
The bruschetta adds an amazing pop of flavour to this dish.
