How to make this chicken bruschetta recipe:

This recipe comes together pretty quickly without a ton of hands on work, which makes it great for busy nights.
To start, you’ll want to whisk together a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Pour that over some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and let it set for about 10 minutes while the oven preheats. This helps the chicken soak up all that flavor.
While the chicken is baking, slice some cherry tomatoes in half and toss them with a mix red onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, oil, basil, and salt.
Make sure to use a balsamic vinegar with just 2 carbs per tablespoon. Some of them are packed with sugar.
We use this Pompeian vinegar.
Just try to resist sneaking a few bites of that tomato mixture! It’s seriously so good.
Once your chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and top it off with some mozzarella cheese and pour the tomato mixture right over the top.
Pop it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and warm the tomatoes.
That’s it, my friends! This bruschetta chicken recipe is ready to devour.
How to serve:
You can serve this up with a giant side salad topped off with my homemade Italian dressing or you can serve it with a side of zoodles!
Most grocery stores carry already spiralized zucchini noodles, but I think fresh is best. They just have a better taste and texture in my opinion.
The spiralizer I use is no longer sold, but this one has great reviews and it’s what I’ll replace mine with if it ever dies.
This would also go great with my Instant Pot spaghetti squash.

Can you use canned tomatoes if you don’t have cherry tomatoes? I have a can of whole tomatoes. Thank you very much,
Karly says
Hi Julie! I’ve only made this with fresh tomatoes. I think it would likely work with canned tomatoes, but won’t have the same freshness or texture.
Sabrina says
