Bruschetta Chicken Recipe Tips:
- SHEET PAN: I used a sheet pan to bake this recipe, but really you can bake it in any dish. I like sheet pans because there’s a lot of space to lay out all of the ingredients.
- CHICKEN: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 per person).
- TOMATOES: You can use any tomatoes you like. Grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes are my favourite because all you have to do is cut them in half. I also like to use multi-coloured grape tomatoes for this recipe, they look really nice. If you don’t liked cooked tomatoes, you can leave them out at the baking step and serve the bruschetta fresh.
- SEASONING: This recipe calls for dried oregano and dried basil, but you can use Italian seasoning instead.
- SEARING THE CHICKEN: I like to lightly sear the tops of the chicken breasts before I put them on the sheet pan. This just gives them a nice colour.
- BRUSCHETTA: Make sure to save some bruschetta to serve with the cooked chicken.
- LEFTOVERS: Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve this chicken with the extra bruschetta. It’s also fantastic with a balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction on the side that can be used as a drizzle for over the chicken (we use a pre-made one and it’s a perfect topping!). Alongside this chicken I also like to serve this Orzo with Parmesan Cheese and Basil and green beans or salad.
Simple. Fresh. Scrumptious. I hope you enjoy this easy bruschetta chicken recipe.
