Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 packet (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with half of the mozzarella cheese until smooth.

        In a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom.

          Layer the chicken and tomato mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.

            In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoned bread crumbs with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the chicken layer.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

                Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
