Description
Bruschetta Chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-prepare dish that combines the classic Italian flavors of fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic with tender, juicy chicken. This recipe is a delightful twist on traditional bruschetta, transforming a simple chicken dinner into a mouthwatering culinary experience.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for bruschetta)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (or more to taste)
Instructions
1. To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
2. Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once seared, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
3. While the chicken is baking, prepare the bruschetta topping by combining the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, spoon the bruschetta topping evenly over each piece of chicken and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Notes
Bruschetta Chicken pairs beautifully with side dishes like spaghetti aglio e olio or a fresh green salad. For a healthier option, serve over quinoa or steamed broccoli.
