Bruschetta Chicken

This Bruschetta Chicken recipe is perfect for a light dinner or lunch, especially in the summer when tomatoes are at their peak!

While bruschetta is something typically known as tomatoes served on toast, I actually find myself eating it more often with chicken, like it’s some sort of Italian salsa.

Up until a few months ago, bruschetta was something you couldn’t get me very excited about. It just seemed too simple.

This changed when I was at a picnic and had a taste of my friend’s bruschetta. I couldn’t stop eating it! I asked my friend what on earth he put in this bruschetta, because I thought surely he had to have put some magical ingredient in there.

Nope.

It was the simplest of things…summer tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic. So good.

I keep cooked chicken on hand (usually slow cooker chicken), and when I want a simple lunch or dinner, I prepare the tomatoes, then I’m eating ten minutes later. It’s wonderful!

How to Make Bruschetta Chicken:

To get started, we’re going to remove the seeds from the tomatoes so our bruschetta isn’t watery. The easiest way to do this is to cut through the hemisphere of the tomato, then stick your finger in and push the seeds out:

Cut the seeded tomatoes up into small chunks:

Place the tomatoes in a bowl and add torn fresh basil, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper:

Next add a splash of really good olive oil, followed by balsamic vinegar:

Mix this all together, then simply serve the bruschetta with sliced, cooked chicken. I served it with this Mediterranean Quinoa Salad.

Other fantastic sides to serve with it are this Zucchini Ribbon Salad or Stuffed Mini Peppers. Enjoy!
