Bruschetta Chicken

italian Herb Bruschetta Chicken is a low carb alternative to a traditional Bruschetta! Transform ordinary chicken into a delicious, flavourful meal!

This is a recipe I’ve been determined to share here for quite some time – it’s easy to make, healthy, and a dream for anyone who loves simple, classic Italian flavors.
As you might have noticed if you visit frequently, I’ve recently embraced the tagline of “nourishing meals, celebratory desserts,” which encapsulates my food philosophy. We eat mostly healthy meals, but don’t say no to a cookie, cupcake, or other indulgence when the time is right. 🙂
This recipe fits squarely into the “nourishing meals” category, and I’m thrilled to have perfected it to share it here.
The idea of pairing bruschetta topping – most commonly a mixture of chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, possibly balsamic vinegar, and other herbs as desired – with grilled or sautéed chicken breasts is nothing new, as Google will definitely tell you.
That said, I experimented with about four different ways of seasoning and cooking the chicken to pair best with the bruschetta before settling on this approach. We ate a LOT of variations on this for a couple weeks until I finally struck gold!
But wasn’t it worth the patience? Just look at that perfectly golden coating. No ma’am, no dry, boring chicken breasts here!

What To Serve With Bruschetta Chicken

A final reason I love this meal is that it’s so flavorful, and contains so many fresh ingredients right in the topping, that I don’t feel a need to go crazy with additional sides. Here are a few simple ideas to round out your plate –

• Couscous or quinoa
• A crusty baguette or French bread
• Caprese salad – more tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and for bonus points, a little more of that to-die-for balsamic glaze!
• Simple greens – baby spinach, arugula, or romaine all go beautifully with these Italian flavors!

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• several pinches of kosher salt
• freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions:

• To prepare the chicken, sprinkle each side of the breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate, then gently dredge each piece of chicken through to lightly coat both sides, shaking a bit to remove any excess.
• Set a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom. When pan is hot, add chicken and saute for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it’s cooked through and lightly golden.
• While the chicken cooks, combine all bruschetta ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to blend.
