Easy Bruschetta Chicken is a light, flavorful dish featuring juicy seared chicken breasts topped with a fresh tomato, garlic, and basil mixture. It’s a low-carb, protein-rich twist on classic bruschetta, perfect for quick and healthy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for tomato mixture)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 2 cups cherry or Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, garlic, basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Let sit to marinate while chicken cooks.
  4. Optional: Top chicken with cheese and place under broiler until melted.
  5. Spoon bruschetta mixture over cooked chicken and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using.
  6. Garnish with more fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Grill the chicken for added smoky flavor.
  • Use a mix of cherry and heirloom tomatoes for variety.
  • Replace chicken with grilled eggplant or portobello for a vegetarian option.
  • Store tomato topping separately to maintain freshness when reheating.
  • Add cheese under the broiler for a melty finish before topping with bruschetta mix.
