Chicken Bruschetta

I made a favorite in our house last night... Chicken Bruschetta. I don't know about you, but I get ideas everywhere for things to make & this one just happened to be a craze on a board I frequent. It's a  on Kraft's Bruschetta Chicken Bake. Thing is, I like to cook with fresh ingredients especially when they are plentiful! So this is my take on it. It's very versatile & I'll give you switch-up ideas after the recipe! This is yummy so make it!!!

Chicken Bruschetta

• 1 medium to large Tomato, diced small
• 2 cups of Croutons (made fresh from crusty, stale bread or you can use store bought or a stuffing bag)
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated or shredded
• 2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
• 1 TBSp fresh Parsley, chopped
• Bunch of fresh Basil... 2 TBSp chiffonade & some whole leaves to top
• 1 cup Water
• 1-2 lbs. boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
• Slices of fresh Mozzarella

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
"Grease" an oven baking dish with cooking spray.


In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomato, croutons, parmesan, garlic, parsley, 2 TBSp of basil, & water. Spoon into the baking dish. Place the chicken on top of the crouton mixture. Top with thin slices of fresh mozzarella & full basil leaves.


Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the chicken is well done. 

Enjoy!

*Lishie tips- You can use provolone or asiago cheese... Flavored croutons... Add roasted red peppers or mushrooms or artichokes to the mix. YUM
