What’s in this Chicken Bruschetta recipe?
This bruschetta chicken dinner combines the classic Italian appetizer and juicy chicken for a delicious and healthy meal. The bruschetta is made with olive oil, Roma tomatoes, garlic, red onion, basil, and balsamic vinegar, and served over perfectly seasoned chicken breasts.
Chicken Breasts: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Salt & Pepper: Salt and pepper are key for bringing out all the yummy flavors. Seasoning: The chicken is seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Olive Oil: Olive oil is used for both cooking the chicken and making the fresh tomato bruschetta. Roma Tomatoes: I used Roma tomatoes, but I would wager that halved, sweet cherry tomatoes would also work well! Garlic: You can’t have an Italian dish without garlic! Red Onion: A classic ingredient in bruschetta. It adds flavor and texture. Basil: Another traditional bruschetta ingredient that you can’t forget. Balsamic Vinegar: Balsamic adds a tangy sweetness that balances all the flavors. Balsamic Glaze: I drizzle this on top as a tasty finishing touch. You can also use reduced balsamic vinegar. Parmesan: I used shaved parmesan cheese, but fresh mozzarella cheese would work too!
Insider Tip: The key for the bruschetta topping is to use the most perfectly ripe tomatoes you can! We recommend making the topping ahead of time to really let all of those flavors develop.
Easy Recipe Variations
Have this easy bruschetta chicken recipe your way by swapping or omitting a few ingredients. To make your chicken even more flavorful, marinate it in some Italian dressing. You could also add more cheese or use less, depending on preference.
How to Store and Reheat
Store your bruschetta topping and grilled chicken separately in airtight containers. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, cut the chicken into slices and place it on a microwave-safe dish in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through. You could also reheat it in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
How to Freeze Grilled Chicken Bruschetta
We recommend only freezing the chicken, not the bruschetta, as it doesn’t freeze well. Once cool, transfer the chicken into a freezer-safe container, squeezing out any excess air. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can make fresh bruschetta when serving.
