Bruschetta Chicken Recipe
Description
In this Bruschetta Chicken recipe, chicken breasts are first marinated in Italian dressing to help tenderize and impart flavor. The topping combines fresh cubed tomatoes, olive oil, and basil, which mimic traditional bruschetta ingredients. Shredded mozzarella cheese is added over the chicken before topping it with the tomato mixture. Baking at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes allows the chicken to cook through while melting the cheese and warming the tomato topping.
The result is a savory baked chicken with melty mozzarella and fresh, herbaceous tomato on top. This dish offers a balance between the richness of the cheese and the acidity of the tomato, making it suitable as a main entrée alongside salads, vegetables, or pasta.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast
- 1 c Italian dressing
- 3 tomato cubed
- 1-2 TB olive oil
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 c mozzarella cheese shredded
