What is Bruschetta Chicken?

Bruschetta chicken is basically bruschetta that is served on top of cooked chicken instead of bread.

I really like that the ingredients used to make this recipe are healthier ingredients that add both flavor and color to this recipe.

That dinner roll recipe is just like the freshly made restaurant style made at home in an air fryer. Both this recipe for chicken and that recipe for dinner rolls would go nicely when served together.

Italian seasoning is used to season the chicken in this recipe. You can find a selection of Italian seasoning here.

Ingredients needed to make grilled chicken topped with Bruschetta

For the bruschetta topping.

• Tomatoes. I like cherry or Roma tomatoes for this recipe for size and flavor. Your tomatoes should be diced or sliced in half (depending on the size).
• Basil. To make this more authentic, use fresh basil leaves. Your basil should be chopped into smaller pieces.
• Olive Oil Use a good and flavorful olive oil.
• Garlic. Your garlic should be minced or diced small.
• Salt and Pepper to taste. Use a larger salt, such as Kosher salt, for better flavor.

For the Chicken.

• Chicken Breasts Use boneless and skinless chicken breasts .
• Olive Oil. Used for both the chicken and the topping.
• Italian Seasoning. You can use the Italian seasoning blend of your choice.
• Garlic Powder. A small amount for flavor.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• Balsamic Glaze. Homemade or store-bought. This is drizzled over the topped just before serving.

Tips for making the best Bruschetta Chicken.

Marinating the chicken before grilling it can give it both flavor and moisture. Simply place the chicken in a zip top bag and top it with the other chicken ingredients listed. You can refrigerate this for as little as an hour to overnight (no longer than 12 hours).

More helpful tips for you.

1. You can use a kitchen mallet to gently pound the chicken to even out the thickness so that it can evenly cook.
2. For larger chicken breasts, you can slice them in half if needed.
3. For tomatoes that are larger than cherry tomatoes, scoop out the seeds before dicing to keep out excess liquid.
4. If you decide to marinate your chicken before grilling it, double the marinade so that you can use half for marinating and the other half for brushing on the chicken while it grills.
5. Make this recipe more like an authentic bruschetta by serving it on bread and topping it with cheese.
6. You can also double the topping to use half for the chicken and the other half to top bread or a salad with.
7. According to the USDA, chickens is fully cooked when it is no longer pink, the juices are clear, and the internal temperature reaches 165.
