Easy Bruschetta Chicken is a fresh, vibrant dish featuring tender chicken breasts topped with a flavorful tomato, basil, and garlic bruschetta mix, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in a hot skillet with olive oil until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the bruschetta topping by mixing diced cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spoon the bruschetta mixture evenly over each piece.
  5. Optionally, add slices or shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Bruschetta topping can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results to keep chicken moist.
  • Variations include adding olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, or using chicken thighs instead of breasts.
