My Bruschetta Chicken recipe starts with melty mozzarella cheese and is topped with the most simple fresh bruschetta. All that with just a few kitchen staples? You'll be adding this big event to your weekly rotation.

My love for cheese knows no bounds. You might be able to tell by the size of the cheese slices on these chicken breasts! You can add as much or as little cheese as you like. With each bite, the handmade bruschetta creates a symphony in your tongue.

Another thing to keep in mind is that this dish goes best with good crusty bread. Not just for the extra bruschetta, but also for the delicious pan juices that collect in your skillet. You don't want to throw those away; you might end up fighting with your family over who gets the last dip.

Ingredients You Will Need

You can also use chicken thighs instead of breasts.

• Salt and pepper - to taste.

• Instead of olive oil, you can use canola, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, or avocado oil.

• Mozzarella, Provolone, and Monterey Jack are all fantastic melty cheeses.

• Tomatoes: I prefer Roma (plum) tomatoes for bruschetta.

• Garlic - Add more if you want!

• Shallot - White onion is also mild.

• Fresh basil is preferable.

• Balsamic glaze - Make your own with only two ingredients or use store-bought.

• Make careful you select balsamic vinegar with only 2 carbohydrates per tablespoon. Some of them are loaded with sugar.

• Try not to steal a few tastes of that tomato combination! It's really good.

• Once your chicken is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese before pouring the tomato mixture over it.

• Place it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and warm up the tomatoes.

How To Serve

• You may serve this with a large side salad topped with my homemade Italian dressing, or with zoodles!

• Most grocery stores sell spiralized zucchini noodles, but I believe fresh is better. They simply have a better flavor and texture in my opinion.

• The spiralizer I use is no longer available, but this one has excellent reviews and will be my replacement if mine ever dies.

• This would also pair nicely with my Instant Pot spaghetti squash.

How to Store Leftovers

It's best to keep the chicken and bruschetta separate. Transfer leftovers to airtight containers and refrigerate for 3–4 days. To reheat, use the microwave or the oven. Place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 400F for about 10 minutes, or until well heated.

Can I Freeze this Recipe?

The chicken will stay fresh in the freezer for four months if stored in an airtight container or large freezer bag. The chicken reheats best after being thawed overnight in the refrigerator.

The bruschetta does not freeze well! This section is best maintained fresh. When tomatoes are frozen and thawed, they become rather liquid and mushy.
