    Baked Bruschetta Chicken

    Another manic Monday! Am I the only one who has super, crazy, busy Monday’s?🤪

    If you’re looking for a twist on your typical (boring) chicken dinner; you have to try this Baked Bruschetta which if I can add, is topped with homemade croutons and a sweet balsamic glaze. Listen, my goal is to never steer you down a flavorless path and I strive to keep it simple, saving you time!

    With that said, all toppings are optional (well, really just the homemade croutons) BUT if you're having one of those good weeks and you're feeling a little fancy, you have to try these out and can message me "thanks" later! 🙂

    I taste-tested each layer so depending on your preference, it’s amazing with the chicken and bruschetta alone but again, life is good most times, just take the extra five minutes and prepare the croutons, ok?

    Let's get right to the recipe!

    Prep the chicken by pounding thin if thick to cut cooking time in half. Add cooking oil, garlic paste and seasonings to chicken breasts and massage until thoroughly coated. Place chicken in grill pan on high heat for 5-7 minutes, flip and finish in oven on 375 degrees for 5-7 until thoroughly cooked through.

    While the chicken breasts are finishing in the oven, prepare the bruschetta by dicing tomatoes, garlic, red onion and basil. In a bowl, place diced ingredients adding red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

    Bruschetta

    Prepare the homemade croutons by cutting 3, 1" slices of an Italian loaf and then slice into small cubes. Place cubes in a bowl and add oil, parsley and garlic paste, stir until well combined and set aside.

    Homemade Croutons

    Chicken breasts should be close to being done in the oven and lastly, thinly slice mozzarella cheese and set aside. Gather all ingredients to assemble for one final trip to the oven!

    In the same pot or pan that the chicken was baked in, place bruschetta mixture on top of chicken breasts spreading evenly across. Add mozzarella slices and top with homemade croutons. Place on broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and croutons are toasted.

    While baked chicken bruschetta is on broil, begin preparing the balsamic glaze by adding vinegar to pan on med/high heat. Let vinegar boil and reduce and add honey. Stir until thick and well combined.

    Remove baked bruschetta chicken from the oven and drizzle balsamic glaze on top. Allow to cool, serve and enjoy!
