Bruschetta Chicken is an easy and flavorful summertime dish perfect for quick weeknight meals. Made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts topped with tomatoes, basil, garlic and Parmesan cheese then either grilled or baked until done, this meal provides delicious tasteful goodness at every bite.

Bruschetta chicken is often served alongside crusty bread such as baguette or sourdough, which has been coated with garlic oil before being grilled or roasted for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Here are some instructions for making bruschetta chicken:

• Preheat the grill or oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• The chicken breasts should be arranged on a grill pan or baking tray.
• The chicken breasts are adorned on top with the bruschetta mixture.
• Bake or grill the chicken breasts for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until thoroughly cooked.
• Serve alongside crusty bread immediately.

Tips

• Add extra zest to your bruschetta by including red pepper flakes or balsamic vinegar in your recipe.
• Before grilling chicken, be sure to apply a coating of olive oil on it to help prevent it from sticking to the grill and burning.
• To ensure that your chicken is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer. Insert it into its thickest part and use its temperature reading when reaching 165 deg F to determine when your poultry has finished baking.
• Before cutting and serving the chicken, allow it to rest for several minutes so the juices can spread evenly and any extra liquid settles. This allows any excess to dissipate.

Variations

Here are some variations for making bruschetta chicken:

• For an exciting chicken bruschetta experience, coat chicken breasts in a combination of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and herbs and spices prior to adding any other elements. This will add crunch without making the dish overly rich or heavy.
• Add extra spice and heat to your chicken bruschetta by including cayenne pepper or hot sauce in your mixture.
• Add other vegetables, such as onions, mushrooms or bell peppers for an enhanced bruschetta experience.

Refrigerating Bruschetta chicken for up to three days allows it to stay fresh, and then when ready to use simply bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until heated through (you could also microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until warmed through).
