For a richer flavor, use fresh, ripe Roma tomatoes instead of canned. Simply dice them and adjust the amount of water accordingly.
Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley after baking for a burst of freshness and color.
If you want to kick up the flavor a bit, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stuffing mixture.
For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with cubed zucchini or eggplant.
Make ahead tip: Assemble the casserole ahead of time, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time when cooking from cold.

    The chicken was a little dry, so next time I'll try marinating it beforehand.
