Bruschetta Chicken
This Bruschetta Chicken is one of the easiest dinner recipes my family enjoys over and over in the summer. Made in 20 minutes, it pairs well with any fresh side dish and is bursting with flavors of tomato, garlic, and basil.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
Bruschetta
- 2 Tomatoes beef steak, large, diced
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- 12 Leaves Basil sliced
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Chicken
- 1 lb Chicken Breasts thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Basil dried
- 3 Slices Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar Glaze
Instructions
Make Bruschetta
- Dice tomatoes. Chiffonade basil (slice into strips, do not dice). Mince garlic.Hint: Squeeze out as much juice as possible from tomatoes before dicing. This will keep the bruschetta from looking watery.
- Combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, salt and olive oil. Set aside.
Prep and Cook Chicken
- In a small bowl, combine seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder and Dried Basil.
- Clean and pat chicken dry with paper towels. Lightly coat in olive oil and season with mixture above.
- In an oiled skillet on medium high heat, cook chicken. Flip chicken after 4-5 minutes and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Place a slice of mozzarella onto each chicken breast and melt. (If you have a torch, use it to melt cheese quicker)
- Plate chicken and top with bruschetta mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Store chicken and bruschetta separately. Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat the chicken in the microwave or oven and top with bruschetta to serve.
Chicken can be frozen for up to 4 months, then defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating. The bruschetta should be made fresh with ripe tomatoes.
To prep ahead, you can make the bruschetta topping the day or hours before.
