How to make Bruschetta Chicken

Tips and Tricks to making the best Bruschetta Chicken!
- Make certain that you don’t overcook the chicken. You don’t want to have dry chicken for this recipe at all!
- If you have tomatoes from your garden, use them! Garden fresh tomatoes are absolutely the best!
- Once you make the bruschetta, let it rest 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, try to store the chicken and the bruschetta separate. 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!
What to serve with Bruschetta Chicken?
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.
Anything that you normally like to eat chicken goes great with this dish as well.
How to reheat Bruschetta Chicken
Reheating this dish is simple! Just remember to reheat the chicken on its own without having any of the bruschetta on top. And while some people might not mind their bruschetta being warmed up, it’s best if it’s served room temperature or chilled.
