Easy Bruschetta Chicken
So, remember how I was telling you about my Easy Bruschetta Recipe, and about all the great things you can do with it?
Well, here’s one of them: Easy Bruschetta Chicken. It turns plain old boneless chicken breasts into a delicious meal bursting with Italian flavor. And if you’ve got the bruschetta mixture made up ahead of time, you can have it on the table in 20 minutes.
This meal comes together in three easy steps. One, cook up a pot of pasta. Two, season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and herbs, and pan-fry them on both sides. And three, lay them on top of the pasta and top them with bruschetta, fresh basil, parmesan, and balsamic glaze.

The complete dish is a perfect blend of tender pasta, moist and flavorful chicken, tangy tomatoes, zesty onion, and the Italian zing of basil and parmesan. It’s got all the sun-drenched flavors of Italy in one easy dish. It’s a perfect solution to the Chicken Problem.
Of course, if you don’t happen to have my Easy Bruschetta on hand, you could use the stuff out of a jar instead. But you’ll be a lot happier with the homemade kind. Trust me.
