Bruschetta Chicken

Pan seared chicken served bruschetta style with a fresh tomato topping!

Bruschetta is an Italian style dish consisting of sliced bread brushed with olive oil that’s grilled before being rubbed with garlic and topped with a topping, often a mixture of diced tomatoes and basil. In it’s original form it makes for a tasty snack and it’s easy to turn it into a light meal by serving the diced tomato and basil mixture on top of pan seared (or grilled) chicken! This meal is super simple! Chicken is seasoned with an Italian style blend of herbs before being pan seared and topped with a mixture of diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic, onion, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper along with fresh basil. This bruschetta chicken is fabulous served with pasta or rice along with a steamed vegetable making for a light, tasty and healthy meal!

Pan seared chicken served bruschetta style with a fresh tomato topping!

ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), butterflied or pounded thin
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced/grated
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons basil, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
directions
  1. Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side, before removing from heat.
  3. Mix tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, onion, basil, salt and pepper.
  4. Serve the chicken topped with the tomato mixture.
Note: The chicken should be about 1/2 inch thin in order to cook through quickly. You can either slice the chicken or pound it thin.
Tip: Make the tomato mixture ahead of time (an hour to a day) to let the flavours mingle and come out more! If you do this, add the basil just before serving.
Option: Garnish with parmigiano reggiano (parmesan).
Option: Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Option: Mix 1 tablespoon basil pesto into the tomatoes!
