How to make Chicken Bruschetta

Cooking this dish is really quite simple. The key is to make certain that you cook the chicken all the way through on the grill or stove top.

• Season Chicken – Before cooking, brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil and season with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides.
• Cook Chicken – Place the chicken on gas grill heated to medium-high heat or into a grill pan or skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked until the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Make Bruschetta – While the chicken cooks, mix up the ingredients for the bruschetta in a bowl.
• Serve – Once chicken is cooked, remove from the heat. Top with bruschetta and pour the balsamic glaze over top.

What to serve with Chicken Bruschetta?

This is 100% up to you. But a few simple dishes that you can serve with this chicken dish is a nice salad, a side of grilled cauliflower or even some delicious grilled green beans. Or try my amazing cheesy bread!

Anything that you normally like to eat chicken goes great with this dish as well.

How to Reheat Leftover Bruschetta Chicken

Reheating chicken bruschetta is simple! Just remember to reheat the chicken on its own without having any of the bruschetta on top.

Some people might not mind their bruschetta being warmed up, but it’s best if it’s served room temperature or chilled.

Instructions

• Brush olive oil over both sides of chicken breasts. Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides.
• Place the chicken on gas grill heated to medium-high heat or into a grill pan or skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked until the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• While chicken is cooking mix together ingredients for bruschetta. To save time you can also purchase store bought bruschetta.
• Once chicken is cooked, remove from the heat. Top with bruschetta and pour the glaze over top.

Tips

• Make certain that you don’t overcook the chicken. You don’t want to have dry chicken for this recipe at all! Chicken is done when the juices run clear and the internal temperature is 165°F.
• If you have tomatoes from your garden, use them! Garden fresh tomatoes are absolutely the best!
• Once you make the bruschetta, chill it in the fridge for a little bit of time beforehand. That way the flavor has time to mesh together a bit more to create a truly flavorful dish.
• If you do happen to have any leftover, store the chicken and the bruschetta in separate containers. The bruschetta will have juices from the tomato and you don’t want to take the chance of it making the chicken soggy.
• If you are short on time go for store bought bruschetta, it’s not as good as homemade but it’s totally a time saver!
