  • Bruschetta Chicken

On the hunt for a simple, classic chicken recipe that you can whip up for the entire family? This easy bruschetta chicken recipe does not disappoint. It has some delicious classic flavors and is super easy to whip up too. 

But before you go give it a try, here’s what you need to know. 

Can I Bake the Chicken?

While this recipe calls for pan-searing the chicken breasts on a skillet, you can totally choose to bake them too if that’s what you prefer. 

Grilling the chicken is another great option as well. Just remember to use a non-stick cooking surface, and also spray a bit of cooking spray or grease the surface with a bit of oil to keep the chicken from sticking to it.

How Do I Store the Leftovers?

Guess what? You can actually pre-make the bruschetta chicken beforehand and store it for later. Just make sure you’re storing the chicken and the bruschetta mixture in separate airtight containers so it doesn’t turn into a big, soggy mess when you get it out.

Tips & Tricks to Nail the Bruschetta Chicken

Make sure you get the recipe right with these super tips and tricks. 

  • Seasoning the raw chicken well and allowing it to sit for a good 24 hours is the key to getting the flavors right in this recipe. However, you can still make it taste great when you’re whipping it up in a time crunch. Just make sure you allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to soak up all the delicious flavors. 
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked to perfection, but isn’t dry. It should be nice and juicy before you top it with the bruschetta mixture. 
  • Want an extra punch of flavor? Add in some dried oregano, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried parsley along with a bit of kosher salt to the chicken marinade. 
  • If you have the time, make the bruschetta mixture beforehand and refrigerate it. This will help the flavors intensify even more. 
  • Reheating the dish? Just microwave the chicken, without the bruschetta mixture on the top. 
  • Looking to oomph up the flavors of this dish? Top the chicken and bruschetta mixture with some grated mozzarella cheese and give it a quick go in the microwave or oven until the cheese melts.

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

The best part about this recipe is that it is super versatile and there are tons of sides you can pair it up with. Here are a few ideas to get you going. 

  • Pair the bruschetta chicken with a side salad like a honey ginger salad or, my personal favorite- grandma’s cucumber salad. 
  • Another excellent option is to team up the protein-rich chicken dish with a veggie side, like some baked green beans or oven-roasted radishes. 

You can also whip up a little extra of that bruschetta mixture and then spread it on some bread slices, top with some grated cheese, and grill it until the cheese melts and voila- you’ve got a quick brunch or evening snack ready.
