Grilled bruschetta chicken
Prepare the tomatoes the evening before or early morning and let all the flavors marinate. Then when you’re ready to eat some chicken, grill up and you have a quick weekday meal.
What is Bruschetta Chicken?
Bruschetta in Italian is actually an antipasti that consists of grilling bread, rubbing it with garlic, and pouring olive oil and salt over it. Tomatoes and other toppings are often added, like this simple tomato topping I used on my grilled chicken. This recipe takes a classic Italian starter and turns it into a main course.
The tomatoes are the star of the show. To quote my husband: “You could serve this over a cardboard box and it would be good!” We love it in the summer when the tomatoes are ripe, serve with some crusty bread to soak up the juice if you like, or just enjoy over a large salad.
