Bruschetta Chicken is delicious and a lovely way to enjoy those garden fresh tomatoes!
If you are one of the lucky ones that has red tomatoes in their garden you are going to want to give this recipe a try. I, unfortunately, have no more red tomatoes left. It was a bad year for tomatoes.
Even if you don’t have tomatoes in your garden you are going to want to pick up some tomatoes at the grocery store (I prefer the “on the vine” ones) along with some fresh basil and give this recipe a try.
Because our tomato crop was poor this year I didn’t get my fill of bruschetta like I usually do. This recipe, which my sister in law Jayna shared with me, helped me get my bruschetta fix. It is an easy and quick dinner to put together. Serve it alone or with some buttered noodles or pasta.
You may even want to make a little extra of the tomato/basil mixture and enjoy it on some toasted bread rounds!
I pounded my chicken breast so it was an even thickness. This helps it to cook quickly and evenly. Instead of Italian seasoning I used some of my Johnny’s Garlic Spread and Seasoning sprinkled on the chicken breasts as they browned.
Bruschetta chicken is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. It was a big hit at our house. Thanks for sharing Jayna!

Cathy, Instead of the garlic spread you could just use a regular Italian seasoning and then you could add a little of the dry Kraft Parmesan cheese in with it and that would work. So glad you liked the apple bars!

can’t wait to make this. the garlic spread/seasoning you mentioned is not
available in st. louis, missouri. is it like those spreads to make garlic bread
with? i thought i might be able to find something close to it. i made your
apple bar recipe and it was loved by all. thank you so much for all the great
recipes.
