Bruschetta Chicken Bake – Healthy and Delicious
Your new favorite chicken – this Kraft Bruschetta Chicken Bake recipe is part of a healthy meal plan!
Grilled or Baked Chicken Bruschetta is one of our favorite dinners! Packed with tons of summer flavor when you use fresh garden tomatoes and basil. This is a great recipe to cook when gardens are overflowing with ripe tomatoes and that fresh basil is everywhere.
We use a robust Balsamic Vinaigrette from Kraft that works well as a marinade for both the chicken and the diced fresh tomatoes.
This is a very easy dinner, just pop in the oven for 20 minutes and you have a delicious dinner that will become a family favorite all summer long.
Bruschetta Tips:
- Always use thin chicken breasts or pound the chicken thinner with a meat mallet
- You can use dried basil instead of fresh. Start with about 1/2 teaspoon.
- Marinating the chicken should be about 1-2 hours, but you can get away with 1/2 hour. Just baste the chicken with plenty of the vinaigrette while grilling.
- For a little extra kick, add 1/4 cup of chopped purple onions or a little chopped jalapeno pepper.
Ingredients Needed for Bruschetta Bake:
