Bruschetta Chicken Recipe
Description
The chicken is seasoned with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, and Italian seasoning then marinated briefly to absorb the flavors. It is grilled until just cooked to 165°F, maintaining juiciness. A bruschetta topping is prepared by combining diced Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, fresh basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning. The grilled chicken breasts are served topped generously with this bright, chunky tomato mixture. Additional garnishes include a drizzle of balsamic reduction, fresh basil ribbons, and shaved Parmesan cheese, which enhance taste and visual appeal.
This dish suits a light dinner or lunch, balancing grilled protein with a fresh vegetable topping and subtle tang from the balsamic. It pairs well with salads, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread.
Leftover chicken bruschetta should be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Bruschetta Topping:
- 4 Roma tomato diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
- 8 basil chopped, leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Additional Toppings:
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar reduced or balsamic glaze
- basil sliced into ribbons, fresh leaves
- Parmesan Cheese shaved
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning over the chicken and add in the olive oil. Toss the chicken in the seasonings and oil until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
- Combine the bruschetta topping ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Heat the grill or bring a grill pan to medium-high heat. Then, grill the chicken until it’s cooked through. (Approximately 5-7 minutes per side. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.)
- Top each chicken breast with a few spoonfuls of the bruschetta topping.
- Drizzle the balsamic reduction over each chicken breast and garnish with chopped fresh basil and parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days to maintain quality.
