This Bruschetta Chicken made its way around the web when I first posted it last week for dinner. Lots of people were sharing the picture because they were THAT excited about this ever-popular recipe. Now, all you lovely readers can actually share the prettier pictures with accompanying recipe to boot!
Main Ingredients Needed
This recipe is a relatively healthy one that only requires minimal (but flavorful!) ingredients.
- Roma Tomatoes – fresh and slightly tangy, Roma tomatoes are the perfect type for bruschetta chicken.
- Garlic + Fresh Basil – garlic and basil to complement the tomatoes.
- Chicken – simple cooked chicken for a bright and fresh meal.
- Balsamic Glaze – I love to top this meal with a balsamic glaze, it perfectly rounds out the flavors in this Italian-inspired dish.
Variations
This Bruschetta Chicken recipe is a simple one, but don’t let that deter you from customizing it for a little more flavor. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Parmesan Cheese: feel free to top this dish with parmesan cheese.
- Red Onions: these can be added to the bruschetta to add some punch.
- Italian Seasoning: try adding this to the chicken while it cooks. More herbs equals more flavor.

I just made this tonight and we loved it!!! I used thin breast cutlets and served over angel hair. I also added about 2 tbls of red onion to the bruschetta and it was awesome! This recipe is definitely a keeper!!
Hi! I refer back to this recipe all the time. Have I lost my mind, or has it changed? Where’s the recipe with the bread crumbs? I miss it and need it! I tried to make it by memory tonight and I must have forgotten something.
Hi! No, you are not crazy! I just moved it to another url: https://laurenslatest.com/breaded-bruschetta-chicken/
Did you change the recipe recently? I have made your bruschetta chicken several times and my family LOVES it. I always come to the website to access the recipe. But this recipe is not the one that I’ve made in the past. The one that my family loves uses a delicious breaded chicken. I should have printed the recipe. I’m so sad to have lost it.

I am a former chef/culinary graduate. I make a homemade meal every night and my husband doesn’t usually say much. After I served him this Brushetta chicken he said,”is there seconds? This should be on a menu!” Thank you for making me look like a rockstar with this recipe!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RECIPE!, This is one of the first recipes I tried of yours, and have since tried so many since i came across your site about a year ago! This one is one of my favorites, especially for my 2 year old, she loves tomatoes and pasta! Thanks for having this site to share!
This has become a staple in my house, my husband asks for it and I love it. My daughter doesn’t eat tomatoes but it still works. Thanks for the idea . It’s perfect .
Made this last night, so easy and super delicious!
i can’t wait to make it again.
Sounds like a winner!!!!
I made this last night and it was a big hit. . .I used the olive oil and balsamic and it was delicious . This will be a regular at our house.
This looks so bright and beautiful. Nice and light too with no heavy sauce. Yum!
This looks great Lauren!!
Thank you for the healthy recipe! Mmmm
I make a similar recipe but I toss the pasta with pesto. Give it a try.
