Bruschetta Chicken
This healthy, protein-packed Bruschetta Chicken is an easy Italian-inspired dinner that doubles as a festive appetizer—no oven needed, just juicy grilled chicken topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, and parmesan.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 6–8 ounces each
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chiffonade cut
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Let the marinade sit for 5 minutes.
- Toss tomatoes, basil, Parmesan, and olive oil in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside at room temperature.
- Preheat the grill. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked, then rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice chicken, top with tomato-basil mixture, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Choose plump, bright tomatoes and fresh basil for best flavor. Trim excess fat from chicken for better marinade absorption. For a smoother mouthfeel, peel tomatoes before using.
