Description
A delightful and easy recipe combining juicy chicken with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, topped with Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of olive oil. Sear in a hot skillet until golden, about 6-7 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Make the bruschetta topping: While the chicken cooks, combine diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the dish: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Top each piece with the bruschetta mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve your bruschetta chicken atop toasted bread or alongside a salad for a complete meal.
Notes
To add extra flavor, consider popping the assembled dish under the broiler for a minute to get it golden and bubbly. Adjust toppings based on personal preference.
