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.
