Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Equipment: Skillet, mixing bowl.
Chicken breast is the hero for this recipe. Marinated in luscious Italian seasoning and oils, it breathes life into the recipe by providing it with the much needed succulence. Tomatoes are the unsung hero that provide the tangy zest and freshness that make it so refreshing. Mozzarella rounds out the sourness with its silky texture and addicting gooey pull.
I strongly advise against swapping the fresh tomatoes with canned ones since they could drastically change the taste. Looking for a low-fat option? Dodge the cheese or go halfsies on it.
How To Make Bruschetta Chicken
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, seasoned chicken breasts, and cook each side for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix diced tomatoes, basil, and garlic powder. Stir in the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Top cooked chicken breasts with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
